This comment regards the content rather than the French language practice, so not really that important. The lack of tiebreaks in the deciding set was the case when this exercise was first published a couple of years ago, but now in 2022, all 4 Grand Slam tournaments have standardised and are using tiebreaks in the final set (they go to 10 points rather than to 7 points like in the other sets).
Why is the plural form of "complimenter" used in this sentence?
The quick Lesson on this sites that in the negative imperative the subject pronoun (tu, vous, nous) is dropped.
In Schaum's Outlines text, I see the following negative imperatives: Ne te reveille pas, Ne nous reveillons pas, and Ne vous reveille pas.
One of the exercise questions in chapter 5 of same text asks for the negative imperative of "Promenez-vous dans le parc" The answer is Ne vous promenez pas dans le parc.
Having trouble understanding this
Quand est utilisee avec , pourquoi est-il que le verbe (e.g. arrive) n'est pas forme avec le E femenin??? (Pardon la faute d'accents!) Merci!
This question was asked in a previous quiz, and the answer was you cannot tell the gender of the ‘“amie”. I understand that the ending e makes it a female friend, but if the question is verbalized, that is not available information. In the quiz I just took, the answer is ‘a woman’. I am confused as to how to answer this question in future quizzes, as two different answers have been given.
When was the "point" (full stop) replaced with the exclamation mark in French? There seem very few occasions when the point is acceptable: But the exclamation mark seems mandatory in most circumstances.
Hi, for “but I used to play it all the time when I was a teenager” we are given the answer “mais j'y jouais tout le temps lorsque j'étais adolescente”.
I had put “mais je le jouais…”. What’s a good way to interpret why it should be “y” and not “le”?
Thanks, Brian
