In the first sentence, there is "Baccaulauréat" in the answer, but the clue is "Baccalauréat."  

I am also unsure about the use of the singular "siècle" in the last sentence since you do not have "siècle" after XVIIIe.  Shouldn't the English be "Between the end of the 18th and middle of the 19th Centuries."?  or "Between the end of the 18th Century and the middle of the 19th Century."? 

It was in another new year exercise but not this one. Why not?

Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.

Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.

Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?

Merci très beaucoup.

Thank you 

Best regards

I have never saw the use of bicross before, but always VTT (vélo tout terrain). Is this a difference between written and spoken language or is it used along eachother? 

Thanks in advance 

With dans, am I physically in the place? I’m trying to understand, clearly the difference between en & dans. Thank you.

Bonjour, 

We know that indefinite articles "un/une/des" become "de" in negative form with the exception of verb être and verbs of states. But, does this rule also apply to the negative of interrogative sentence? 

For example: 

Il mange une pomme. -> Il ne mange pas de pomme. 

Is the following also true? 

Est-ce qu'il mange une pomme ? -> Est-ce qu'il ne mange pas de pomme ? and 

Mange-t-il une pomme ? -> Ne mange-t-il pas de pomme ? 

I didn't find any reference about negative interrogative and indefinite articles so have to ask to clear my doubt. Also, please confirm the case with negative interrogative and partitive articles. 

merci beaucoup. 

Bonjour,

In one of the examples above:
Maintenant que ses parents n'étaient plus là, elle devait s'occuper de sa sœur.

However I'm confused because it states that Devoir with l'imparfait is "was supposed to [do]", however the translation is:
Now that her parents were gone, she had to take care of her sister.

Why is it not:
Now that her parents were gone, she was supposed to take care of her sister.

Merci

In the 90s, several rap groups released songs that included the repeated refrain "Whoop/Whoot there it is!"  This would often be played during sporting events, especially basketball, as a way to celebrate scoring a goal. Is the French "ça y est" similarly celebratory?  Is it ever associated with scoring a goal at a sporting event?
