Why "ce sont devenues" rather than "ces sont devenues" in the last sentence?
Salut tout le monde. Pourquoi on utilise DE et pas DES?
This correction confuses me, because in the English phrase the past tense is used (I wasn't OK with it). Is this an error or can you explain why my answer was wrong?Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je ne serais pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je ne sois pas d'accord.
Two small points: the sentence above was given as the correct translation of "I’m going to go to bed early" - doesn’t "se coucher" mean "to go to bed, and thus "je vais me coucher" is "I’m going to go to bed"? Also, for translating "our children are going to tidy their rooms", the hint was "Literally "their room", in French we consider they have one each" but leur chambre was marked incorrect and leurs chambres given as the right answer.
Just wanted to add, it’s really great that you can now opt out of self scoring!
From France 24 headline, "Comment l'Allemagne a-t-elle vécue la vague de chaleur." What is the rule for the feminine ending of vécue?
Bonjour à tous,

e.g. dûe à l'agilité de
Merci , Paul.
J'ai mis "dû", plutôt que "due", parce que je n'arrivais pas à voir avec quoi il était d'accord. Et je n'ai pas pu regarder en arrière pour en deviner !
Faisait-il un accord avec "reputation"? Peut-être il faut quelque chose dans les "hints" pour dire cela ?
Why is there an "s" at the end of déçus when the subject is singular?
Can après-midi be either masculine or feminine in this expression? I was not marked wrong when I used "bon".
if "vieux" is being qualified by an adverb "extrêmement. so "un extrêmement vieux parchemin" is correct. why is it marked as incorrect
