Hi!
I don't want the tips that appear in the fill-out-the-blanks exerceises. Can I choose to turn them off?
Thanks for any help! :)
comme j'aime les chats, j'ai particulièrement apprécié cet exercice. au moment où j'écris, mon chat dort au soleil sur son lit, où elle restera jusqu'à ce qu'elle ait faim ou qu'elle veuille être caressée :)
Est-ce plus correct à dire "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les a lavées aussi" ou "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les est lavées aussi"?
L'adjectif "long" précède normalement le nom et si j'ai "a big white house", c'est une grande maison blanche, n'est-ce pas? Pourquoi dans le cas des cheveux sont-ils "les cheveux longs et raides" et pas "les longs cheveux raides"? Merci.
J'ai lu trois livres dont les tiens/ les vôtres. [I read 3 books including yours.]
Is this correct? Or should it be le tien? Masculine/plural form should be used because the noun is 'les livres'?
Not that it necessarily requires a separate lesson, as it follows the same pattern as most of the other verbs, but perhaps 'tomber' should also be on the list of dual auxiliary verbs - être in intransitive form, avoir in transitive form.

If I wanted to say, "I misunderstood," would any one of the following be acceptable?
Je me suis mépris.
J'ai mal compris.
Je me suis trompé.
My question concerns the imparfait conjugation of the verb 'exister' in the sentence:
Aussi, lorsque j'ai appris qu'il existait un musée qui...
I would like to know if conjugating here in the imparfait (existait) does not imply that the museum used to exist, but no longer does. I am inclined to want to conjugate 'exister' in present tense to get around this problem, yet I know its gramatically incorrect to do so. If someone can help, I would greatly appreciate.
Have a good day all :)
Question on a test: “What are all the possible ways to say 3 o’clock” Marked incorrect for NOT choosing the following highlighted answer. Why do I need “de l’après-midi” if I am using “quinze”? Isn’t it obvious that I am speaking of the afternoon?
Il est quinze heures de l'après-midi.After submitting my response, no correction page appeared and I was simply presented with the next phrase or sentence. As a result, I scored zero for my response. You can't go backwards. This happened twice during the exercise. On the second occurrence, I was particularly paying attention to not hitting the submit button a second time as I know this can cause skipping. I could not figure out how to send this to your technical team instead of bothering you.
