Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”
Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?
Please could you add the term 'kernel' or 'stone' to your translation of 'noyau' ('pit')? This would be helpful for UK learners.
I think I understand the basic concept here. Is there an easy way to remember which verbs are followed by à? The list is VERY long.
She seized his wrist is translated.."Elle lui saisait le poignet." Why is the "lui" there?
I find the questions which ask things like "If I say "Tu es français.", who am I speaking to: Lucie or Hugo?" quite frustrating, because the gendering of names isn't fixed. According to https://madame.lefigaro.fr/prenoms/prenom/garcon/lucie, Lucie, whilst predominantely feminine, has been a mixed name for over a century.
It might be helpful to add a hint to these kinds of questions that says "Hugo is male, Lucie is female".Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?
Hi
I have been taught that à cause de is used negatively. The positive usage is grace à. Whats your opinion?
Again, étonnant is also used negatively or so i have been told. Maybe you wanted use it as such here.
Hi, this struck me as odd: "vous devriez peut-être considérer que la relation n'est pas n'est pas censée durer" - why not just "n'est pas censée durer"? Why the repetition?
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.
Can you say "la plupart de mon weekend" or "la majorite de mon weekend" here?
