Why is it not "Non, ici rien n'est PAS cher"?
I saw in a previous post that you refer us to Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations), but this says that you don't need "pas" in situations where you use a different word in place of "pas"... so you could use "n'est rien" instead of "n'est pas". But in the text above, "rien" is already in the sentence, so we shouldn't repeat it, right? So, where is the "PAS"? Or can any adjective simply replace the "pas"?
Please clarify... et merci beaucoup!
Could you forward this technical issue to the correct department? I like to keep a copy of the exercise available while I am actually doing the exercise so that I can refer back to the suggested vocabulary if necessary. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. In this exercise, I was not able to bring up two copies at the same time. Even after starting the exercise, I was not able to bring up the page with the vocabulary while retaining my place in the exercise itself. My position in the exercise would disappear and I would see the original page. If I hit start on that page, it would jump to my position where I left off. It was impossible to keep the original page and do the exercise simultaneously. Thanks for looking into this. Send me an email if you require additional details.
I was going to choose the right answer when I second guessed myself because of the "de". How would you say "I'm watching from beautiful hills"? What would "Je regarde à les belles collines" translate into, or is this sentence completely incorrect?
the logement hint is in the wrong section
- Can I use "chez la teinturerie" instead of "au pressing"?
- Can I use "ce n'est pas grand-chose" instead of "ce n'est pas grave"?
- Can I use "de nouveau" instead of "encore"? Please walk me through this.
- Can I use "de secours" instead of "en réserve or de côté"?
Why quitter is correct answer, but not sortir ?
I found an example in the lesson where sortir is used to describe a personne leaving work at 19h
I found one of your recent posts awhile back and now I fully understand it. It helped me a lot and now i'm hoping it will help me do better with the tests.
thanks again

Sorry to add to an already long thread, but I have a feeling that when using "on" as informal "we" (rather than impersonal "one") I’ve seen "nous" used as the stress pronoun, not "soi". Is that right?
