Martin likes Sarah. -> Martin aime bien Sarah. I answered this question with simply "Martin aime Sarah", and I wonder why was it marked as a mistake. Nothing in the question suggested that it's the friendly sort of like, it could very well be a romantic sort of like. Both options seem grammatically correct to me. Isn't that right?
Je veux etudier des sujets autres que le passe simple, mais le programme me donne 9 questions du passe simple sur 10 dans chaque test, meme si j'active le test a partir des lecons sur d'autres sujets. Comment sortir de cet engrenage?
I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
Hi all. Can someone advise me as to when one uses ça as 'it' rather than le, la, l' eg. je le déteste or je déteste ça? I have just done an exercise where the latter was used for 'I hate it', I would have used 'le'. I can understand it being used for I hate 'that' but here it was used for 'it'. Thanks in advance/ merci en avance, Kevin

Not sure if anyone is gonna read this, but for those that are from countries where a billion means a million million, french uses the word billion as well.
This page confused me a bit since Spanish is my first language and in that language we generally use billion the same way as French, whereas the one thousand million meaning is mostly used in the English speaking world.
Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...
