My biggest mistakes at this simple point in A1 are because I don't know the word as opposed to missing the grammar rules (parce que, par, oeuvres, etc.). When I make mistakes the lessons recommended are almost always about the grammar -- are there lessons or suggestions for picking up more vocabulary? (although I'm suspecting that just doing exercises is the best way to get exposed to more words :-) )
Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect? I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!
I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".
What is the correct order to ask questions in French?
I mean, can we put all of the words of interrogation like (quand qui que) in different places like we do with ou` and the different places can we put the subject and the verb?
for example : ou`te es ?_ou` es tu? - tu es ou`?
When we are using C'est plus the standalone adjective,is it always masculine and singular?on it can also be masculine and plural depending on the sentence ofcourse
There are a lot of interesting tense changes to consider in this exercise! But why do we hop back into the present tense here:
“until she gave birth to her daughter Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle accouche de sa fille Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle donne naissance à sa fille Claude”
"Elle est soulagée de ne pas devoir être opérée."
Is this the infinitif passé, please?
And if not - what!
Shouldn't it be "Elle a dû l'oubliée?" [She must have forgotten it.]
Here, Oublier is infinitive form of the verb which means - to forget. So, in this example isn't it translated to - She must have forget about it, which doesn't sound right. How can it be translated to '...forgotten it.' which is past tense?
Initially I was a bit confused,

On the introductory page of the dictée "Rendez-vous pour le contrôle technique", the word is spelled 'defectueux'. But in the body of the exercise, in section four where it appears, it is spelled 'défecteux'.
