I translated "at the moment" as "en ce moment", rather than "pour le moment". I believe either one is correct, but "en ce moment" is not listed as an alternative. Would it be incorrect to use that formulation in this context?
Please can someone help. I have just had « Il est neuf heures quinze » marked as incorrect, the correct answer being « Il est neuf heures et quart ». I had thought either would be OK. Thanks.
Why is it “on s’était donné...” but “on s’est inquiétés”?
How are the currency signs pronounced? The lesson does not spell out these words and it is very difficult for beginners to make out the words by listening to the recordings. It would be very help if the lesson spell out the currency signs as to how they are pronounced even though these words are not required in this lesson.
One of the correct options used "avant que" without the "ne". I gather this is permissible sometimes?
Yhere is nothing in the context and no hint as to why either answer could or could not be correct.
_______ il ne vienne pas?How come he's not coming?Comment ça se fait qu'Comment ce fait-il qu'In the lesson, there are two examples given:
1. Nous sommes gentils
2. On est gentils
In the second example, why is there “s” on the end of gentils? Should it not be gentil - since “on” is 3rd person singular?
Hi, I'm having trouble understanding the way "tout" acts in sentences when being used as a pronoun. In another lesson it says that "tout" can be used as a pronoun, however in passé composé the structure is usually: "subject + object pronoun + auxillary verb + past participle", for example "Je l'ai mangé".
My understanding is that the correct sentence would be "J'ai tout mangé", and not "Je tout ai mangé". Could someone please help me understand, is there a rule for as to why tout behaves differently than others?
