Why is the correct answer ‘preservation’ not ‘conservation ‘?
Why are they skipping words?
One line has an answer of “C'est l'un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”
and then also of “C'est un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”
But the audio is “c’est l’un”, not “c’est un”, so I guess the second answer shouldn’t appear as an option, even if it’s a grammatically correct alternative.
Not a big issue, but I thought I’d mention it.
The examples use avoir but the text says use etre - I am confused
Nous avons visité une exposition qu'un ami a recommandée.
If 'que' referred to 'un musée', then the past participle would lack the final 'e'?
What is wrong with saying “j’ai trouvé
leur livre” for “I found their book”? Isn’t it the same as “j’ai trouvé le livre des enfants “?
In the translation of ” and I'm skint [US: broke] because of all the gifts that I must buy”, they use the expression ”à cause de” for because of. I was wondering if "en raison de" could be substituted for "à cause de". I tried it but it wasn't accepted. Is there a subtle difference that I don't understand?
Can you explain why you can put bien meilleure after the noun? I know that meilleur always goes before the noun, but I did'nt realise that it could go after the noun when used with bien. Why is that?
The first sentence, "il faut vraiment que l'on discute de ta mère" is the contraction l'on for "le" or "la" ? I still don't get why it is even needed. Would it not work to say, "...qu'on disute de ta mère" which then maps to English as "that we discuss about your mother".
I'm guessing that it's a direct object pronoun, but then why isn't "de ta mére" the object of the sentence?
