Can you use 'tandis que' instead of 'pendant que'?
Can you share link to the lessons to explain the aies and eue. am in a bit of a muddle. not sure where to look.
I translated "famous sculpteur" as "sculpteur connu" but all the suggested answers used "célèbre" instead. Is there a difference? I thought they meant the same thing.
Also, my dictionary translates "versatility" as "polyvalence" in French, and it says that "versatilité" in French actually means fickleness/changeability. Just wanted to clarify.
Is there any difference in meaning/nuance/register between
'Ce magasin est fermé de deux heures à deux heures et demi'
and
'Ce magasin est fermé entre deux heures et deux heures et demi'?
I think I tend to use the latter more often, and I'm now wondering whether it's incorrect, or makes me sound odd.
when to use an article with a country
I was speaking to a French woman today and I said, "My eyes didn't itch":
Mes yeux n'ont pas démangé. Elle m'a corrige est dit : Mes yeux ne m'ont pas démangé.
If the latter is correct, do you use 'me'because you're talking about a body part? If so wouldn't you use "sont"? Or , is there some other explanation?
Are there translations (French into English) available for the listening/dictation exercises? Where would I find them? I use this to test/practice my listen comprehension as well.
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.
"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

Hi! Thanks for the exercise! The audio for ¨traverse le village¨ sounds very much like ¨traverse sur le village¨ - or maybe it just sounds like that to me.
Also, the ¨le maire¨ hint, I think, belongs on the audio section before where it is currently located.
