Why is this question marked incorrect in my test when the question says specifically to use "devoir." If we are to use "devoir," then the correct response is the one I gave, "devrais dût manger," not "aurais dû manger." The "J' " is incorrect if devoir is used per the instructions, as the answer should be "Je devrais dût manger."
Why is "He's thinking of her" - Il pense à elle instead of Il lui pense?
If someone were to ask the question "Pense-il a Marie?" Would the answer be "Oui, il lui pense."
Why is it emue and not emué here?
I just tried twice to complete a test on lui & leur. All the alternatives in the drop-down list appeared in English, not French. What's going on? The corrections were all in French!!
Hi, in English, "aren't you" can have a bit of an accusatory tone. Is it the same for "n'est-ce pas" in French?
The problem is that this lesson just makes the general statement that adjectives that end in -s, double the s and add e for the feminine, whereas the accompanying video states that most adjectives ending in -s, follow the standard rules except for those listed by OP, which take -sse ending, and 2 others that absous, dissous - which both drop -s and take -te, and tiers which drops -s and takes -ce. There may be a problem in the video description of those that are regular (ambiguous I think) but neither does this lesson note that there are exceptions to the -sse structure.
In the Sentence, "Le premier jour a été très dur", why is this not an opinion calling for the imparfait?
Why does mais "elle l'a réussi" get marked wrong, in lieu of "elle l'a eu?" Are they not synonymous?
