Lesson Guide?(A)Read and bullet point the lesson but DO NOT read ANY of the example sentences. So you are really benefitting from the 'NUTSHELL' information.
(B)Read your bullet points and and commit to memory..including how to spell meilleures..etc do not gloss over!
Your bullet points should include:
(i) the guideline for all these 'terms' with ETRE it is the same throughout the lesson.
(ii) Pire--the adjective-- is the comparative forms of MAUVAISE
(III) PIRE ---the adverb is only used with ETRE.
(1V) So 'pire' the adjective means 'worse' (la pire the worst) and PIRE the ADVERB is only found with ETRE.
(C)Now read the entire lesson again. including the example sentences, you should have a clearer grasp of the choices made.
(D) Then go off in confidence and "soyez les meilleurs et faites bien vos comparatifs!!
Hello. I answered the following exercise question incorrectly, selecting en instead of dans.
Les enfants sont ________ le métro.
The children are on the subway.I recently read this guidance in a Quick Lesson and thought en would be the correct choice. Could both be considered correct?
When talking about travelling somewhere, you will use à for "individual" modes of transport (walking, bicycle, bike etc), and en for "group" modes of transport (bus, coach, car, subway, etc).
Thanks for the help!
Why not Patrick sent mal
Je suis jalouse des nouvelles bottes que tu as achetees. Why is it des nouvelles bottes and not de nouvelles bottes since nouvelles an adjective is in front of a noun
Why is the sujet not sa peau ?
why is "complimentaient" conjugated for des lèvres et cheveux as the subject ?
The excercise translation was poires rose, while the complete tesxt at the end was pois roses. This sort of thing and punctuation at the end of phrases indicated as errors makes me doubt the utility of these exercises.

In Conte de fées (Passé Composé vs Imparfait) we're given the clue so his daughter had to take care of the garden and the animals. with 'devait' given as the correct answer and not 'a dû'. Why is that the case, when in this class it seems to be the opposite way around? It follows the context of her father rarely leaving his bed, and is followed by describing something she would also do once a month. So it seems unlikely to fit the 'we don't know if she fulfilled that obligation' case for using devait.
In the following example, I am struggling to understand why we must use la and not lui? To me, it sounds like the sentence requires an indirect object pronoun, because the question "What" is not answered in response to the "must", which is the verb in this sentence. I use the "what" test to determine if there is a direct object in the sentence. With this sentence, should I consider "what must they warn" as my question, or "what must they do". Apologies if my line of thought is completely skewed but it seems to work in most cases.
Does Julie know? We must warn her ,
- Julie est au courant ? Il faut lui prévenir,- Julie est au courant ? Il faut la prévenir,Why does aimer mean love instead of like in this sentence:
Elle aime sa nouvelle veste.She loves her new jacket.Doesn't aimer mean to like when used with things/objects? Somewhat confused.je ferai gagner du temps à tout le monde - What's the expression here? Because I don't understand why "À" is used here?
