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
Aussi, je voudrais offrir une suggestion. Je propose d'ajouter le mot, feuilletons,, à la liste de vocabulaire. Merci!
In the exercise:
“the one which ran along the stream up to her favourite clearing.”
translates to:
“celui qui longeait le ruisseau jusqu'à sa petite clairière favorite.”
Is the use of ‘petite’ in order to indicate affection for the clearing, thereby emphasising that it is a ‘favourite’ place? I’m wondering how to interpret it, as the English doesn’t contain the adjective ‘little’ or ‘small’.
Good morning. Is there a trick to hearing the accents over vowels, or do you just have to know where they are in every word? A lot of times I can distinguish the pronunciation of é vs. è, but sometimes I can't tell the difference between e and é, for example. In the text, there's the sentence "" where I can hear é in représentation and théâtrales, but the e in spectacles sounds the same as é in the other two words and doesn't have an accent. Is this something that just comes with a lot of practice? Or do you just sort of need to know the words in advance?
Thank yor this useful reading text.
Is it possible to add the pronunciation of the difficult words like: campagne
What pronoun could work for a mixture of life genders as a collective pronoun :They(John and Mary) are eating.
Bonjour,
Comment faut-il dire "not again" si ce n'est pas "pas encore"?
Merci en avance!
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?
this dictée made me smile. It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)
Why does this sentence change to the vous form of you?
