J'étais confus avec "acheter" qui est un verbe eTER, mais il n'a pas le double T en futur simple. Plutôt, 'acheter' (et je ne sais pas combien d'autres) suit la règle eXER où le 'e' pénultième prend l'accent grave: achèter + . Malheureusement, la leçon ne dit rien de ça.

Je me rends compte que j'aurai dû regarder la question de Steve et la réponse de Cécile et les additions d'Alain et John, là-dessous, mais à la temps j'étais trop occupé avec le quiz pour ça.

Néanmoins, la leçon devra améliorer pour expliquer quel autre verbes en plus de "jeter" et "appeler" font le double 'L' / 'T' et tout les autres verbes terminés par eTER/eLER suit la règle 'È". (Eh bien, Alain à ajouté les verbes basés sur "appeler" et "jeter" comme "rappeler" et "projeter / rejeter" et John à ajouté chanceler, hoqueter, feuilleter et pelleter.)

Why is "qui" incorrect here?

The questions asks for possible translations of "Liliane's son, whom I told you about, lives in Angers."?The following option is marked incorrect, but I don't understand why.

Le fils de Liliane, qui je t'ai parlé de, habite à Angers.

I get that I need to distinguish between Liliane and her son, so the best option is to use "duquel", but if "dont" and "à qui" are accepted, why is "qui" not accepted?

Le Passe Compose: "cutting" an ongoing action

"C'est alors que Maxine_______mon sac et s'est enfin en courant." I got this question wrong because I chose the Imparfait rather than PC. Is the correct reason for using the PC because Marie's action is best described as a sudden one, it cuts into something ongoing? I thought I had the difference between the two straight in my mind but obviously "non". Can you explain/confirm if my reasoning (after getting it wrong!) is correct? Thanks. Valerie

In the sentence "Catherine a vécu cette évolution comme une revanche contre Platon....why not the plus que parfait as it describes her reaction.

Also I assume that reaction continues now and did not end at that time.

"In line" vs. "on line"

Just thought I mention in case some US members are confused: Most Americans say "being/standing in line," but most New Yorkers (and some others on the US East Coast) say "being/standing on line" and only some Americans (those familiar with British English from television, movies or traveling!) would understand "the queue." So thanks for "translating" the phrase "the queue" for us Americans.

Is this in the Conditional tense?

I probably missed something, but isn't this example in the Conditional and not the Pluperfect?

Si nous l'avions choisi, nous l'aurions regretté.

If we'd chosen him, we would have regretted it.

It would be great if I could understand why I'm wrong ;-)

Je chantais vs j’ai chanté

Why do you use “je chantais” instead of “j’ai chanté” after “Hier, en allant au travail? You mention that this happened yesterday, so it is a completed action in the past.

Question about sentence

In the sentence: Anne et Alain apprendront la cuisine le mois prochain, I’m confused why it’s la cuisine and not à cuisiner since the translation was: will learn how to cook. Can someone explain this? Thanks.
