Hello,
I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.
I wrote á chaque soirs Elle lui raconte un histoire. To mean every night she told him a story and got it wrong in the quiz .and the acceptable answer was: Tous les soirs, Elle raconte un histoire. Doesn’t á chaque soirs also mean every night?
“Sa mère et moi l'avons seulement assistée avec les démarches administratives.”. Hi, ”sa mère” (mother is female) “et moi” (“moi” is the father, who is male) “avons assistée” (first-person plural passé composé). We have a mixture of male and female forming the “we”, so should the past participle be “assisté” and not “assistée”? Thanks.
so I was doing a quiz on Kwiziq and the question was "C'est amusant." means: to which I answered "it is funny". It gave me an 'almost there' mark and I don't get why. It says the right one is 'This is funny'.
Elle les (découper) - I think should be ‘Elles les découpes’ with a direct plural object, n’est-ce pas?
"He's thinking of his holidays. He's thinking of it."
Can I suggest that "He's thinking of his holidays. He's thinking of them." would be better?
In the text the 'e' at the end of 'carte' seems to be pronounced. If so could you please explain why this is, as the next word 'bleue' starts with a consonant and not a vowel (which then normally requires the liaison). Thank you.
Quand j'étais en vacances au bord de la mer, j'ai eu l'opportunité d'aller faire de l'équitation sur la plage. J'avais toujours eu envie de le faire...
I'd like some help understanding why plus-que-parfait is used in the second sentence. Is it because the desire to ride horseback on the beach is before the also past action of having had the opportunity to do so? I think the English translation was "I had always wanted to do it" and my brain wasn't able to place this as a past feeling-before-a-past action! So tricky...
The recommended translation of 'It [the year] started with the biggest heartache of my life' is 'Elle a commencé avec la plus grosse peine de cœur de ma vie'.
Is there a reason why 'avec' is preferred over 'par' in this sentence?
