Is it usual in French to use “parfum” to describe the taste of food? Or is the speaker describing the smell of the food? If the speaker is speaking of the good smell of food, is this a usual expression concerning food as well?
The pronunciation of ‘paysage’ was too difficult, I could not recognise it. Otherwise I did Ok.
Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?
Hi there,
In the examples given in this lesson one of the speakers pronounce "Elle s'assied avec Paul/Elle s'assoit avec Paul" with the d/t at the end.
I thought maybe this was due to having a vowel following it, but on the other examples above there are also "Avec" following the Assied/assoit and omitting the last consonant!
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi Kwiziq
I utilise many different resources to learn French (including Kwiziq) and at least 2 translator apps - Reverso and French English Translator which check my French words and grammar to verify my learning, before I speak, write or read. However, I often find these 2 apps give me different answers for the same phrases. In this particular Kwizik test, I became frustrated because some of my answers were marked incorrect, despite my research before taking the test.
Do you have any suggestions on which translator is the most reliable and one that Kwizik recommends? I am a Premium Kwizik member and enjoy your model of teaching, however, I need to find a reliable translator.
Thank you.

Si "to go ski" est "faire du ski", pourquoi "would go skiing" n'est pas "faisaient du ski"?
It took me a moment to understand this heading - does it mean that 1 Describing and 2 Expressing Opinions are two different uses of l’imparfait? (rather than both describing opinions and expressing them)
"Je n'ai pas de X."
Should "X" be in the singular form or in the plural? Does it depend on which form it was in in the question?
eg. "Avez-vous une voiture ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de voiture." but "Avez-vous des chaussures ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de chaussures." ?
Bonjour--
De temps en temps, je vois une construction selon l'exemple :
"Et Christophe (ou Pierre, Marie, etc.) de dire (ou autre verbe)..."
Pourriez-vous me confirmer 1) si cette construction est courante, et 2) si elle reflete un francais litteraire, ou bien a la rigueur si elle fait partie du francais couramment parle?
Un grand merci,
Fred
In 'nous nous étions fait piquer' why does the 'fait' not need to agree with the subject?
