Hello everyone.
I'm reading the book, La Belle et La Bête, and I saw une année passe. Why does it use année instead of an?
Thank you
When doing the writing tests, I find myself regularly struggling with knowing when to place accents (and regularly second-guessing myself too!).
Are there any rules of thumb to help with this? For example, the 'ô' seems to always appear in words which sound similar in english and one would place an 's': eg hôpital, hôtel, hôte, etc.
I generally have trouble with accented 'e's (ignoring the "obvious" accents, such as when using the passé composé and other conjugation rules) so any advice would be very welcome.
The detail says to use Mon, ma or mes but the first to examples use son, sa, ses. Why is that?
Hi, the answer for “Commande en même temps” reads “Commande en même temps, ça ira plus vite !”, giving away the next section, which is “ça ira plus vite !”. Also, this feels more like a A1 than a B1.
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 !
Quand La Premiere Guerre Mondial a-t-elle commence. This seems an awkward construction, but perhaps not. Could one say: La premiere Guerre Mondial quand a-t-elle commence? Please excuse the lack of punctuation.
More of a comment than a question, but seeing my A0 through B1 levels decline from 100% to 99% today felt like a punch in the gut. I normally only have enough time per week to take tests maybe 2-3 days, so it's been a slow and steady climb for me. I tried to knock 'em out quickly, but of course I made some minor mistakes, and now I'm doing A1 tests instead of the B2 tests I would normally be doing right now. Rough way to start the week.
Per the given definition of the use of demeurer, je suis demeurê makes no sense since the question refers to a state of mind and not a location. Why is that given as the correct answer?
