My understanding is that in French "menu" is the word for the chalkboard list of daily specials. And "carte" is the paper list of all the items that the restaurant can serve. I used "à la carte" in this exercise. I guess Kwiziq is not making that distinction in A1. Or, I am under a false impression.
In this lesson examples such as "Vous aurez déménagé d'ici avril" and "Nous aurons fini de creuser la piscine d'ici le mois prochain and others use the futur antérieur, yes?
Futur antérieur is not difficult to understand. However, I am following the Lawless French website algorithm for studying B1 subjects. Up to the point of "By + [point in time] = d'ici ..." the futur antérieur verb structure has not been introduced.
It's a little disconcerting to mix key grammar points, such as futur antérieur, into examples before they have been studied.
Regarding this test question and my wrong answer and correct answer: “How would you say "One has to earn others' respect." in French?
Il faut gagner le respect des autres. (Correct)
Il faut gagner le respect d’autres. (My wrong answer)
I’ve read the lesson numerous times as well as the discussion below and nothing explains why I was marked wrong on this question. Is there something about “il faut” that is like “se server de” in the lesson’s example that would require “DES autres” instead of “d’autre”? The translation is not “of THE others”, just the more general “others”.
Can you explain why not using “ dans l prison “ in the exercise ?
Nous ne nous sommes pas levés tôt. Ils ne se sont pas brossé les dents .
Are these sentences correct? Should the past participle still agree with the noun? Could you provide more examples please. Thanks in advance.
