J'ai choisi créer pour "made up" mais il ne marchait pas. À sa place, vous avez proposé "inventer." Dans la deuxième instance, j'ai utilisé "inventer ". Vous avez fait la correction, "créer ". Je pense que tous les deux devraient être acceptable dans chaque traduction. Make up, imagine, create sont des synonymes dans le contexte de cette histiore. L'histoire était mignon comme d'habitude. Félicitations !
Why is pas not used in this example? "...je ne le pensais pas"? What is the concept/rule that I'm missing here?
Tu parles moins que je ne le pensais.

Hi Kwiziq, I think there is a bug with one of the questions. The question 'How would you say "This witch smells very bad!" ?' keeps showing that I chose the same wrong answer, even though I am not choosing that response. This has happened like 5 times in a row and has reduced my lesson score!
The response it keeps showing as chosen -> Cette sorcière sent très mauvais.
The one I actually chose -> Cette sorcière sent très mal
Not sure if question was clearly expressed!
In the sentence 'when France won the World Cup ' I used remporté instead of 'gagné' but it remporté wasn't given as an option. Is there a subtle difference in their respective meanings?
The phrase 'which seemed to have been left there' is translated as 'qui semblaient avoir été laissées là'.
Could you also translate it using 'y' rather than 'là' (and if so, where would the 'y' go ?) ?
Hello!
I tried a different way of writing the final sentence, and it wasn't accepted by the exercise engine:
"que l'on peut aujourd'hui savourer le champage aux fines bulles qui se connaît dans le monde entier."
I tried this because the English text specified "[that is]" and I thought it was prompting use of "qui" -- is this grammatically in correct?
Il est né un dimanche
Il est né le dimanche
Which one is correct? Can't we use indefinite articles with the days of the week ?
