How are you differentiating in English between Passé Composé and the Imparfait? Eg "Ils ont été accuellis par le xxx and "ils etaient accueillis par le xxx". You translate the second sentence in the tests as "They were welcomed by " but then how would you translate the first sentence?? When you ask fir a translation of "The boy was welcomed by" you can't mark it wrong if one gives answer in passé composé as opposed to "imparfait"?

Julie veut du chocolat

In the mini quiz after the lesson on Du, I translated this sentence as “Julie wants some chocolate”. The lesson on “du” clearly stated this to mean “some”. Why was I marked as not correct? The answer was given as “Julie wants chocolate”. If this translation is the preferred one why is it not taught in the relevant lesson?

Translation query

Bonjour Madame,

In the sentence from the lesson "Il jouait au football quand il était petit." Should the translation not be as-

"He used to play football when he was young."(in place of played)

Please explain the reason.

Merci d'avance

Bonjour Madame Aurélie , a question which I would like you to answer -

Une ville magique (Passé Composé vs Imparfait)

Bonjour Madame Aurélie !

Thanks for designing such a great worksheet on this topic.

But could you please help me with these sentences -

1. L’endroit qui m’a enchanté au dessus de tout, .........

2. Nous nous sommes proménes dans ses jardins merveilleux .......

In the first sentence , I used ‘imparfait’ as I interpreted it as a state of mind which the narrator was in of being mesmerized . Secondly, I had used ‘imparfait’ in the second sentence after reading your lesson that ‘l’imparfait’ is used for describing the scene , characters , setting of the phrase. Please provide the reasons why Kwizbot marked me incorrect .

Bonne journée !

( I would appreciate to be answered by Madame Aurélie )

Although someone else answered it before but was not satisfied with answer, I hope you would as a teacher spare some of your valuable time to help me slip out of my problem .

Merci d’avance !

Contraction of "du" in front of vowel

Is it correct that "du" in this very specific case is contracted to " d' " in front of a vowel, rather than the regular "d l' "?
