French language Q&A Forum

Hi,

I wonder why is it "sur Orléans" and not "à Orléans" ?

One of the things I love about Progress with Lawless French is that in the Written and Dictation exercies, alternate answers are given so you can learn all the different ways to express a given passage. What I don't like, however, is that when a result comes up "Your answer matched mine", no alternate answers are given. I really miss that extra chance to expand my French that is provided in the alternate answers.

I got marked wrong for writing "Depuis que Amandine...". This is correct, I believe, given that Amandine is a proper noun. Am I wrong here?

Shouldn’t it be Viens-tu      Also achètes-tu     

"Il est bon", refers to the actor or the film? If it is the film, shouldn't it be "c'et bon"?

Vous êtes un amateur de vin

 Vous êtes un amoureux du vin

Bonsoir

Pourquoi dans phrase 1 de vin

et dans phrase 2 du vin

Merci en avance

I used navré instead of désolé in this exercise. Is it fine?

Thank you

if ‘avoir envie de’ can be used as an alternative to ‘avoir besoin de’ for saying ‘needs to go to the bathroom’, why can’t it also be used for ‘needs to take a day off’? Isn’t it all down to context in both cases?
