In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?
Which is right and why?
ce sont des trains.
ou
ces sont des trains.
Two simple questions:i
I retook the exercise and used 'observer' instead of 'regarder' as I think it would work just fine in this case, but it was marked wrong. From the dictionary entry it seems that observer would apply equally well in this case.
I also used 'le Moyen Age' instead of 'l'epoque medievale'. I realise that the latter is a more direct translation, but I am much more familiar with 'le Moyen Age'. Is there a general preference for one experession over the other?
Merci a tous !
Since both parts of the sentence refer to a feeling/opinion, shouldn't both parts be conjugated using the imperfect past tense?
"Je ne voulais pas choisir pour elle, mais j'ai été soulagé"

I often find that if I have a lesson I want to retest on it won't let me & says:
"To kwiz this lesson again, save it to a notebook and kwiz against it until you have nailed it."
but when I add it to the notebook it then says:
"This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like."
apologies if this has been asked before, but I did search & check the FAQ but didn't find anything.
many thanks :)
This isn't really about the lesson per se, but two English-language books about DeGaulle: Julian Jackson "De Gaulle" & Jonathan Fenby "The General, Charles DeGaulle & the France He Saved" are fascinating character studies & well worth the read.
The man that Churchill once described to FDR as "our mutual headache", c'était vraiment un homme compliqué.
I hear « réguliers « with a soft g sound as in ange , instead of a hard g as in guerre. Is this a particularity of accent?
Why can’t it be “tu as l’odeur du pain” ?
Line 9: The audio says "effeuillez d'abord les fleurs,"
.......but d'abord is crossed out as incorrect by kwiziq in my written response.
