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 )

Cet exercice n'était pas un niveau C1 - comme indiqué
Bonjour - I was going to use 'regarder', but changed it to 'observer' just to see if it would work and it was not accepted. Both Collins and LaRousse give 'to watch, or to observe' as translations for 'observer'. Is there any reason why 'observer' wouldn't work in this case?
Merci beaucoup.
Similarly, descendre d'un escalator or descendre un escalator?
Can we say go up/go down 1 floor in French:
Monter/descendre un étage
Thank you.
Hi Cécile, this question (see link below) has been asked and received no answer. Can you shed some light on it?

So, the lesson on combining nouns says to use some form of à when describing a taste and the lesson gives the example of "glace à la vanille." That seems consistent with my memory of "pain au chocolat." So why is it "les œufs en chocolat" and not "au chocolat"? Thanks.
La partie de la phrase, en anglais, est "...I don't have a choice..." Mon interprétation d'anglais était une choix ou du choix et ce n'est pas un particulier choix, qui demanderait l'article 'le'. Dans ce cas, j'ai écrit "...je n'ai pas de choix" ce qui était faux. Est-ce que mon interprétation n'est pas correct ? Pourquoi "le choix" au lieu de "de choix"?
