Why isn't the answer feminine?Tu es allée au cinéma après ________ pour ton exam. You went to the cinema after studying for your exam.(HINT: Use "réviser")
I answered "avoir révisée" because "tu es allée" tells me tu is feminine but the correct answer given is "avoir revise".
What am I missing"

Katie is calling Sonia in case she's late.

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?

rappeler de and rappeler du

Dear Céline,

I would be most grateful to know why "du" appears in "Vous vous rappeler du petit restaurant italien ..." and "de" in "Tu te rappelles ton professeur de maths."

Problem playing the dictation.

One of the sentences for translation would not play so I had to leave it blank and continue.

Que translates as 'as'?

Hi there,

 

can anybody help with why que appears in the following sentence, please? "Tu dormiras dans le meme hotel que la derniere fois".  The translation I have is "will you sleep in the same hotel as last time".  I've not come across que as a translation for 'as' before.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kieran.

pouvaient or pouvait?

In “Je me suis donc retrouvée dans une cabine relativement spacieuse dans laquelle pouvaient coucher jusqu'à six voyageurs.” why is it pouvaient as opposed to pouvait? As the subject (une cabine) is singular I was expecting pouvait.

Some clarification please

Bonjour,

In one of the examples above:
Maintenant que ses parents n'étaient plus là, elle devait s'occuper de sa sœur.

However I'm confused because it states that Devoir with l'imparfait is "was supposed to [do]", however the translation is:
Now that her parents were gone, she had to take care of her sister.

Why is it not:
Now that her parents were gone, she was supposed to take care of her sister.

Merci
