The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question: "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"
It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).
Which spelling is correct "fraiches" or "fraîches"? Treatment in the exercise and the finished text is inconsistent.
In the following:
ATTENTION
lui means either him OR her (depending on the context)But I've been given the following information which I am struggling to reconcile with:
When you combine personal pronouns with prepositions such as avec (with), chez (at the home of), and pour (for), they change their form.
Daniel habite près d’ici. On va chez lui ? Daniel lives close by. Shall we go to him?
Sarah veut nous rejoindre. Il y a de la place pour elle? Sarah wants to join us. Do we have space for her?
**why do we use elle in the above? isn't Sarah an indirect subject here? "Is there a space [for] Sarah**
In this example, "Il a acheté deux burritos, mais il n'a mangé ni l'un ni l'autre", would it be equally correct to add "en": "Il a acheté deux burritos, mais il n'en a mangé ni l'un ni l'autre"? And why isn't it necessary anyway?
In the first sentence, there is "Baccaulauréat" in the answer, but the clue is "Baccalauréat."
I am also unsure about the use of the singular "siècle" in the last sentence since you do not have "siècle" after XVIIIe. Shouldn't the English be "Between the end of the 18th and middle of the 19th Centuries."? or "Between the end of the 18th Century and the middle of the 19th Century."?
In the follow sentance someone is reporting back what was said to them.
"donc, au beau milieu de la nuit tu serais allé boire un verre d'eau et tu aurais vu une soucoupe volante dans le jardin, excuse-moi!"
Why is the conditional being used here instead of the passe compose. And if I were to speak this sentance using the passe compose would it be incorrect. Thanks.
commence par une vocale et que quand il commence par une consonante, est-ce qu'ilya une règle?
There is a typo I think in the table of irregular adverbs. Meilleure translates as best, not better.
Hi, i've noticed in some sentences like 'Demain, on doit se lever tôt' they use Lever instead of Leve, when should i be using Lever.
