I'm sorry, but this is a terrible example sentence. Who on earth would refer to walking their dog as "taking a walk with" their dog? The dog has no independence. It doesn't join you for a walk the same way your friend Julie might.
The example sentence should be changed to:
Anne et Antoine promènent leur chien.
You can have the same answer choices, but the correct answer would be "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." Which is a sentence you might say in real life, as opposed to "They're taking a walk with their dog" which no one said ever.
Shouldn't it be deux plus deux égalE quatre?
What is the differ between notre, no circumflex accent, and nôtre, with accent.
How do you determine which conjugated form of the verb do you use in sentences such as "Jean et moi sommes allés au cinéma.". It appears the conjugated form of the verb with nous has been used. I cannot understand why this is.
"... notre équipe allie savoir-faire professionnel et pédagogie bienveillante." Why no definite articles for savoir-faire and pédagogie ? Is this simply the result of the informality of an advertisement? Thanks.
In the first sentence of the text - Did you know that the town council [US: city hall] has decided.... etc., the Hint advises ...- "has decided" = Use Le Plus-que-Parfait here.
In the related lesson, the examples show 'had' and not 'has' as being translated using the plus-que-parfait?
" No you cannot say , 'le jour suivant le mariage' you could say, ' le jour après le mariage' but ' le lendemain du mariage' is even better... "
I have 2 questions about this answer:
Q1) Compare the example "Il a été relâché le jour suivant son arrestation." with "Il s'est réveillé le jour suivant le mariage". Do these both not follow the same pattern of the day following+[something]. What is it about the latter that is wrong?
Q2) Cécile has indicated we could say le jour après le mariage but in the lesson we can read "You cannot say le jour après in French." So which is it?
In the sentence " I also don't like some soccer fans " I used "je n'aime pas aussi" but the correction said it is "je n’aime pas non plus"
What is the reasoning here? When I read the grammar lesson behind it, it says "non plus" is more like "not...either" which is definitely not the same meaning as also in English.
Why "Mon fils travaille (present tense) comme promeneur de chiens depuis quelques semaines" for has been working? and not "Mon fils a été travaillant comme promeneur de chiens quelques semaines"?
