Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?
Would "À bientôt !" be an acceptable answer?
Bonjour!
Can someone please help me to understand the difference between using qui est-ce qui vs qui est-ce que?
Still unsure about when to use article “le” and days of the week. Could you elaborate more on this idea of specific context, maybe w an example or two?
I'm sorry, but this is a terrible example sentence. Who on earth would refer to walking their dog as "taking a walk with" their dog? The dog has no independence. It doesn't join you for a walk the same way your friend Julie might.
The example sentence should be changed to:
Anne et Antoine promènent leur chien.
You can have the same answer choices, but the correct answer would be "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." Which is a sentence you might say in real life, as opposed to "They're taking a walk with their dog" which no one said ever.

I'd been following his career since the release of C.R.A.Z.Y. in 2005.
The answer was
Je suivais sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005.
But could it also be
J'avais été suivi sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005
Can one also say ' je m'en servirai d'une'?
It wasn't offered as an option.
Thanks
The sentence from Aug 1 RFI. Why the pronoun Y? What is it replacing, since I don't see an "a + verb" or a place that is normally replaced.
La tension monte entre les États-Unis et la Chine. La numéro 3 de l'État américain pourrait se rendre à Taïwan, mais Pékin ne reconnait pas l'indépendance de cet État et y voit une provocation.Find your French level for FREE
