In the conditional phrase in the second sentence, we have "...si je ne voulais pas être père...". I have terrible hearing, but I thought I heard d'être père. I know that vouloir does not take a preposition to introduce an infinitive, so I was dubious. I certainly did not hear an elision of the 's' of pas with être. Are my ears deceiving me?

Marked wrong in error.??ne...plus with a pronoun.

The question was: "Are we waiting for Laura? No, we're not waiting for her any longer.

I put: Nous attendons Laura? Non, nous ne l'attendons plus.

This was marked incorrect. Please explain why the pronoun "la" can't be used here, in abbreviated form with an apostrophe.

The lesson that accompanies the question does not deal with pronouns.

I can't see why my answer is wrong.

Please advise.

What register of "anyone" would be used to say "she doesn't talk to just anyone"

It is a negative sentence, not affirmative, nor a question, so would "personne" be the correct translation? If so, how would you translate the sentence to convey the meaning of "not just anyone meets her standards"? Is there an idiosyncratic French expression for this?

Cheers,

Alec

Translation of the adjective, evil, as in an evil doll.Is "une poupée méchante" not evil enough ? It wasn't accepted as a possibility.

Update Comment

I forgot to check the send e-mail box with my question below & had to redo this exercise to get to the Q&A in order to do so to request a response. I certainly hope part of the upgrade will be the ability to check the Q&A, at least after completing the exercise, without having to repeat the exercise every time.
