On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.

Thank you!

I have finished with all the recommended lessons for A0: Entry Level.

How do I start with the next level A1: Beginner?

Merci

I see in an exercise that "I'm having new sandals made." is translated as "Je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales." I don't understand why the "me" is necessary in this case. I can see why for verbs like brosser, couper, raser, doucher, and so on. But not in this case. What am I missing?

So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? - 

- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?

Why does impressioné have another 'e' on the end. Is it because the speaker is feminine?

Can I also say - Je n'ai pas d'idée. [I don't have any idea.], just like I can say -  Je n'ai pas de lait. [I don't have any milk.] or Je n'ai pas de sœur.

If not, why??

Hi all I used ( tandis que ) instead of pendant que, in the first line.  and it marked it as an erreur. any explanation for that please?.thanks.

I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.
