1 (Incorrect)Your answerThe correct answerListenStudy suggestions10Je ne voulais pas écouter ________ .I didn't want to listen for fear that you'd be lying.(HINT: Use 'tu'.)de peur que tu ne mentesde peur que tu puisses mentirIn the exercise for the sentence "Later I make my way to the historic center.", the 5 stars for self-grading are displayed vertically instead of horizontally.
I saved a screenshot if needed.
I am confused. All the lessons on "Avoir du mal" imply that it's a fixed expression. So I wrote "J'ai toujours du mal" even though I was hearing "..de mal.."
What's going on here? Is it "avoir du mal" being used here, or is it another construction altogether ?
I'm confused here. All the lessons on "avoir du mal" suggest that it's a fixed expression. I therefore wrote "J'ai toujours un peu du mal..." even though I was hearing "...de mal".
What's going on here? I don't really understand. Is this "avoir du mal" or something else entirely?
Pourquoi "il fallait que je lave ton plat" au lieu de "il a fallu que ..."? C'est une action précise, achevée, accomplie ... Merci.
Re: saying "et demi", "moins quart", etc., this appears to be regional. In my experience, this phrasing is very common in Canada, but unheard of in Suisse Romande and the surrounding French border regions where it is more common to say e.g. "midi trente" for 12:30 or "midi quinze" for 12:15.

It would be nice to have better consistency with regard to these constructs. Another lesson indicates an incorrect answer for "I like [something]" with j'aime, as j'aime bien is wanted. This lesson and others, however, are perfectly happy with just j'aime. Same context, liking an object and not a person.sd
Why is it "je ne le crois pas" and not "je n'y crois pas"?
When you talk about croire it's "je crois à ..."
Trying to get my head round why it's "tout" and not "tous".
I suppose with tout it means "we were all packed up" in the sense of "we were completely packed up". But couldn't it be tous, meaning "we were all packed up" in the sense of "all of us were packed up"....?
