It is really hard to hear exactly these words, spelling...=((
It is my understand that both of them mean 'the one'
Regarding the expression "sont servis", used in "Les plats froids sont servis avec une salade":
I don't understand this conjugation. Is this a reflexive form of the verb servir? Or is it just how menus are written?
I was going to write about 'very fun' here - it is a controversial phrase in English to say the least ! I haven't heard it used in about the past 60 years. However, I see this has come up in another topic, where 'very fun' was subsequently to be changed to 'great fun' - this should be done in this lesson as well. The preferred answers should also reflect that 'great fun' is not the same as 'very funny'.
While I am here, 'next week's test' - a student is talking, so the informal « l'interro » is more likely than « l'évaluation » unless a major assessment is proposed. Although the final transcript reasonably uses « le test », the correction board on the way through scrubbed « l'interro » for the more formal « l'évaluation », indicating that as the 'best answer' .
On the next screen « camarade de classe » for 'classmate' (correct) was crossed off for the imprecise and less formal « camarade ». Either should be indicated as being correct.
Why do we use the past participle "occupés" after "semblaient" in the third sentence. Why isn't it in the infinitive "occuper"?
I struggle to understand why this means "I forgot to bring you your glasses!"
I thought the word used to express "bring" should have been "apporter" not "rapporter"
Why is this not 'Je ne lui pensais guere' please?
Quand le soleil retourne....
Can we substitute 'revient' with 'retourne'?
(if no 'why')
