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 !

I put "dans ces jours-là" instead of "à cette époque-la" -- are they not synonyms?

Kwiziq a marqué ma réponse comme incorrecte car j'ai écrit "dans ces jours-là" ...

Prévoir

In which lesson can I find the future simple conjugation of Prévoir? It seems to have a different pattern than explained in this lesson for VOIR or REVOIR. Isn't it a VOIR derivative. Please help.

After Charles VIII himself made her his wife

Is it possible to translate this as:

Après que CharlesVIII lui-même lui en fit son épouse.

As the sentence was that he made her his wife ?
