test question asked for "I feel nothing". I put "Je me sens rien" and it was marked incorrect. The correct answer was "Je sens rien". Please explain.

Bonjour! Je suis étudiant. Pouvez-vous m'aider avec cet exercice?

Écrivez 3 phrases avec en, 3 phrases avec y. Vous pouvez utiliser les verbes: avoir besoin de, se souvenir de, parler de, penser à, réfléchir à.

Why was my answer: " Je suis en retard cinq minutes"

marked wrong and the only correct answer was "J'ai cinq minutes de retard".

I thought that there were two ways to say "I was 5 minutes late"

The answer to Martin likes Sarah is marked differently in different tests:

1) Martin aime Sarah

2) Martin aime bien Sarah

Please explain.  Jane

Hello,

So If I'm understanding this correctly when the definite article is before a noun it remains when the verb is negative?

il aime le Café et le chocolate.

Il n'aime ni le Café ni le chocolate

But if the indefinite or partitive article is before a noun in an affirmative sentence the article is then removed when negative?

Elle commande de l'eau et du vin.

Elle ne commande ni eau ni vin.

Thanks

Nicole

Hello,

So what I'm getting here is use only Est- ce que when you have a yes or no question instead of inverted form?

Thanks

Can you use s’intéresser à instead of être intéressé de?

Hi Céline - you have replied to a couple of queries on the writing exercises this week (including this one) asking people to report it on their correction boards. Both people replied that they couldn't find how to do that. And I can't either. I can find neither a "report it" button or a "correction board" on either of the 2 exercises concerned. What are we all missing? Thanks.
