I have read the lesson and the forum. At this level, is it really necessary to learn several (confusing) ways of asking these questions? Could we learn to use one, the commonest one, and then come back to another lesson later for all the variations. I cannot get past this test (but I can get what I want in a boulangerie!) :)

"What" questions and "que"ATTENTION:
What can only be at the end of the sentence, and you use quoi and NOT que.

I spent a while trying to understand this sentence, as there are several examples given later on with "que" or "qu’" at the beginning, eg qu’est-ce ?", "que veut-il ?"and indeed those starting "qu’est-ce que". I reckoned it only applies to your first group of sentences where intonation, rather than inversion is used to ask the question - is that right?

Translator confusion

Hi Kwizik

I am a Premium member and really enjoy the Kwizik model of learning, but I also use a number of other apps, books and websites to study French. I also use 2 or 3 Translators to verify my study before committing “pen to paper” but I am getting a bit frustrated with being marked down in Kwizik, when I have picked different phrases from the recognized and popular translators (Reverso, Google, sometimes DeepL). The latest exercise is “a day in my cat Max’s Life.

EG. donner un câlin or faire un câlin? I chose donner - Kwizik said wrong, should be faire.

EG. Nourriture sèche pour chats or aliments secs pour chats - Kwizik said wrong, should be croquettes.

These are just a couple of examples, but I have many more.

My question is therefore, can Kwizik please suggest the best translator app to use, one Kwizik recommends, which will give us the best information so we get things right. Everyone uses translators so it would be handy to have that information.

I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks - Jo

Elle m'a regardé de ces yeux pétillants auxquels je n'ai jamais pu résister

2 questions about this sentence:

1. Is "yeux étincelants" not acceptable here?

2. Why is the passé composé used instead of the imparfait "les yeux...auxquels je ne pouvais jamais résister"?
