I don`t understand why this sentence ("She hid until he left." ?after) could not be the second sentence below just as much as it could be the first one....
Elle s'est cachée jusqu'à ce qu'il soit parti. Correct Elle s'est cachée jusqu'à ce qu'il parte. WrongEst-ce que le « ne » qui suit « personne » et « rien » est omis en français parlé, ou est-ce qu'on dit quand même « ne », même dans un registre très familier ?
Why does the agent shift to the future tense in the last few sentences of the exercise.?
Le leçon dit: To say to scare [someone] in French, you use the expression faire peur à + [quelqu'un].
Literally : "to do/give fear to [someone]"
À Halloween, je fais peur à mes neveux !At Halloween, I scare my nephews!
Donc, pourquoi est "Le fantôme fait peur à elle" incorrect?
The ghost scares her." ?
Le fantôme lui fait peur. Le fantôme fait peur à elle. (Marked wrong--pourquoi?)MerciSo, the lesson is hard, considering the absence of an e at the end it was hard to guess lesson is feminine and there was no lesson for such irregular nouns suggested.
Ugh! "J'ai trois chats, dont (ainsi que) deux chats siamois". I know that this lesson was gearing towards DONT but would not ainsi que work as well?
Question: Elle va ________ Havre aujourd'hui.
She's going to Le Havre today.(HINT: Le Havre is a French city). I noted the Le was missing in the question so after writing au, as being masculine I knew this was the answer but not having Le in front confused me so I added it, making my answer 'au le'. Why was the Le missing. Was this an examiners deliberate deception?In this sentence "Le dernier jour de la semaine dernière" from the kwiz, why is dernier before jour but after semaine?
Salut. I understand why the conjugated form of "débarrasser la table" is used, but couldn't "desservir la table" work, too? I used it because I remembered that this vocab was used in several examples for level A1 or A2. Ditto for "joujoux" instead of "jouets", although the latter is a term that is more general than the former. Merci d'avance!
