Hi, just a comment on one of the English lines. I don’t think we can have “Annoyed by the elephant, a part of Guitri population referred the matter to the authorities”, and would recommend either “Annoyed by the elephant, a part of Guitri’s population referred the matter to the authorities” or “Annoyed by the elephant, a part of the Guitri population referred the matter to the authorities”.
I was marked wrong for using vous vous reppeler
In the first sentence, "Depuis que je suis petite fille, j'ai toujours adoré m'asseoir" why is the first half in present tense, and the second half passé composé?
Also, for the sentence, "les gracieuses ballerines qui se produisaient à l'Opéra," is "jouer" not an acceptable translation for perform?
Just when I think I might have that French partitive sorted out, I fear not!
" un petit pot adorable de la confiture à la framboise." My thinking was that the container was named, "un petit pot" so why not "de confiture..." ?!
Can you also say 'tu as emporté ton doudou?' I thought if you are taking an object and it is staying with you, then you use emporter.
"il n'est jamais alle nulle part." This was one of the examples given in the lesson, but I thought that it would be wrong to use *jamais* since "ne ... nulle part" is a negation of its own just like "ne .... aucune"
In the 5th segment of the dialogue, the text reads:
"- Je voudrais une boule à la vanille, une boule au chocolat et une boule à la fraise s'il vous plaît."
But the audio says:
" - Je voudrais une boule à la vanille, et(?) une boule au chocolat et une boule à la fraise s'il vous plaît." I'm not sure if that word is actually "et" as it almost sounds like "y a", as though somebody is saying "il y a" too fast.
This is in both the lesson and the end-of-lesson full text.
Qu'est-ce qu'une galatte
Hello. Would it make a subtle difference if we use "on doit" instead of "on devrait" in this context? What would be the difference? Thank you.
