I cannot here the "de" in this sentence:  on a même échangé nos numéros de téléphone !

Can I ask about the following sentence:  "Now, remember that at the time" —> Maintenant, rappelez-vous qu'à l'époque"

In the English sentence "Now," functions as a filler, rather than meaning literally "at the moment" - you could as easily say "Well," or "So," without changing the sense of the narrative. I was expecting "donc" or "alors" and wonder if it’s common to use "maintenant’ like this?

HI,

I forget what lesson in A1 I saw this and now I can't find it. But one sentence has c'est un Vieux sac for it's an old bag but the second one is c'est un vieil home for he's an old man. My question is why is c'est for he is or she is shouldn't it be il/Elle est?

Thanks

Nicole

Looking back through the Quick Lesson and the accompanying discussion I still can’t tell the difference between “none arrived” and “no one arrived”. Aren’t they just two ways of saying the same thing? (Albeit, the second being my preference.)

What does the translation of the verb lofer (to luff) mean? I've never heard this word before thanks 

For the last question, two alternative answers were given which included "il s’est transformé en un aimable/ agréable jeune homme".

That "en un ai-/ ag-" sounds a little strange to an English ear - is it common?

Bonjour,

Pouquoi est le dans  S'il vous plaît ? Nous connaissons que c'est pour elle à répond.

Merci

Hi! Thanks for the exercise! The audio for ¨traverse le village¨ sounds very much like ¨traverse sur le village¨ - or maybe it just sounds like that to me.

Also, the ¨le maire¨ hint, I think, belongs on the audio section before where it is currently located.

Je manque toujours les point d'exclamation.  Il y a un règlement sur le sujet? Comment peut-on savoir pendant la dictée, si un point d'exclamation est nécessaire? On peut entendre un ton dans la voix?
