Can you please share the rule regarding placement of 'Ne...Aucun/Aucune' in Compound Tenses?? It does not seem to follow the regular rule. It would be great if it is also added to this lesson.
If the verb is se passer, should it not be "Comment tes vacances se sont-ils passées"
If the verb is simply passer, should it not be "Comment sont passées tes vacances"
I got a question wrong, with more than one fault:
Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux was given as the correct answer, but isn't "brossés" the correct form of the past participle in this sentence?
I know that ils is used for masculine or mixed masculine and feminine groups and elles is used for feminine groups. But what if there are more feminine than masculine objects such as a group of one man and ten women? Would it then be acceptable to use 'elles' to refer to that group or would I still have to use ils even if only thing is masculine?
For this Kwiziq question I put: Katie appelle Sonia au cas où elle aurait du retard
It was marked wrong, but I think that should also be accepted? avoir du retard = to be late
Nick
p.s. is it less common to use avoir du retard than être en retard?
It was in another new year exercise but not this one. Why not?
Bonjour, why is it not 'nous sommes arrivées'? I put an extra 'e' because Marie is a female.
On the 4th or 5th question, in the english phrase they wish us to translate, at the end of the phrase, there is a point ("."). But when i put the point in my french phrase, it was marked as wrong, causing me to lose points, I assume.
Please fix this error or explain it to me!
Thanks,
Karina
It says jusqu'à ce que and subjunctive is for until someone does something so for example 'we kissed until his parents arrived'. But could it also apply to 'we talked until it became too late'? So a second part of the sentence not done by someone but a situation without a person and action.
