If I recall, the hint was to use the term, 'Ivory Coast', which tricked me up. I normally would use 'Côte d'Ivoire'. I opted to accept the hint, which was not accepted. I felt duped by the hint. Perhaps others fell into this same trap. Take a look at it.
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.
I'm wondering why the verb tense here doesn't match the English sentence that was given : "We **had wanted** you so much for so long... ".
I am very confused:
Ex: After YOU visited the city, YOU… ( same subject). Why is it translated by: « après que vous avez visité la ville, vous… instead of « après avoir visité la ville, vous… ». Merci de me répondre.
I know that she did not say Tu vas l'adorer but why didn't she? Is it an idiosyncratic expression that doesn't require an object?
Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?
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.
Would 'doué' have been as good as 'talentueux' here?
