I wrote  préférerais, but it was corrected to  préfèrerais. I looked up the dictionaries, and the former is given a s correct.

I struggle with when to use the imparfait. Why in the quizlet question "In 2004 I had money" was the correct answer "j'avais" rather than j'ai eu? It seems like this is a completed action in the past, not on-going? I get so confused...help!

Hello, 

Just curious about Mathieu being 'in a team'.  Is that how the french describe team membership?  In US we say, 'on a team'.

Merci!

In the question Aurélie mange ___________ , with the translation Aurélie eats bread, the answer Aurélie mange le pain is marked as wrong in favour of Aurélie mange du pain. But surely Aurélie mange du pain means Aurélie is eating some bread, and Aurélie eats bread means that she eats bread in general, so should therefore be translated as Aurélie mange le pain.

Can you add a writinge exercise graded by AI for us to pratice using the words? 

Is there somewhere to view my answers to the written exercises.  I am a bit stumped as I pretty sure I managed (finally) to ace my last effort and would like to compare my responses.Thanks

How can I re-take the placement test? My computer glitched the first time, & I submitted the test by accident, so I am actually at a much higher level than what they are suggesting. Help!

Hello, 

Can anyone suggest a best-practices methodology for using the site to improving in a systematic way?

Perforce of circumstances, I'm learning on my own, but hope to get off the B1-B2 plateau that I've settled on via my piecemeal learning.

FWIW, I spend ~15 hours per week studying French.

Thanks in advance,
