The quiz asked: How would you tell your friends to have faith? "____ confiance, mes amis!" Have faith, my friends.
I answered "Faites" but it wanted "Ayez". Nearly all lessons here that refer to "confiance" associate it with "faire" - not "avoir". There does not seem to be one specifically on "Have faith". What is the grammar rule here?
The quiz asked: "Les choses se sont passees ___ je l'avais prevu" Things happened just as I had planned.
I answered "tout comme". It wanted "ainsi que" but isn't "tout comme" another valid answer here? Possibly even a little more correct since "tout" conveys the additional emphasis that "just" does in English?
Il ne t'a pas appelé de peur que tu ne luiraccroches au nez.
He didn't call you for fear that you may hung up on him.
should be might hang up...
The question asked: "Couvrez-vous la tete!" Write "Cover it".
I answered "Couvrez-la". It wanted "Couvrez-la-vous".
Can you explain why the Kwiziq answer is correct. I could see it if the vous was an indirect object but it does not seem to be. For this reason it is not similar to any of the examples in the lesson.
Is it because "la" refers not just to "the head" but "your head", i.e. "the head of you"
what's the differnece between de l'argent ou d'argent?
and how to use them? thank you!
The two sentences below look almost exactly the same, in both 'they' know a fact (what time the shop closes).
Presumably, then, its just that in the 2nd sentence the verb is followed by a noun and that alone determins that 'conaitre' should be used, (and it's nothing to do with 'they' knowing a fact)?
Ils savent à quelle heure le magasin ferme. They know what time the shop closes.
Ils connaissent l'horaire de fermeture du magasin.
They know the shop closing time.
