The answer given is "n'y connaît rien."   Seems to me this should be "n'y savait rien."   This refers to knowing how to navigate a lock.   Knowing how is savoir. 

Is this a spelling due to a language reform ? I am not seeing it here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:French_spelling_reforms_of_1990

Both the conjugation tools for WordReference and Reverso only list  posséderait as a spelling.

Thanks. Paul.

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.

In the passage, " ... and Lisa fills the washer dryer.", you should say that Lisa fills the dryer.  A washer-dryer is usually a stackable set of machines with the washer on bottom and the dryer on top, although it can also be one integrated machine.  In this exercise, Lisa is clearly loading the dryer.  We would only say that she is loading the washer dryer if she is loading both machines.

Pourquoi est-ce qu'il ny a pas un "s" au fin de "Kit-Kat" dans la phrase "Alors, deux McFlurry Kit-Kat...."?

I put in "Le lapin EST disparu" and I was marked as wrong. "A paru" was given as the only correct answer.

I can’t figure out when to make cent plural when writing dates. I see it is plural in 1900 but not in most other dates. 

This article says that the translation for "Il viendra de peur que tu ne sois vexée." is "He comes...", but wouldn't "viendra" translate to "will come"? And then "Il va venir" would be the one that is translated to "He's coming..."

In this sentence where is the "you" as the sentence in English was "or we could give you a refund"? why are these English words just being omitted and how are we meant to know when to omit them?
