Why is de longeur considered incorrect if it included as an option in lesson?
I don't understand why "déguise" is used in the translation of "Grandma always wanted us to be dressed up for the occasion". The suggested answer given is "Mamie voulait toujours qu'on soit déguisés pour l'occasion". All the references I look at imply "make unrecognizable/camouflage", so I'm wondering why "déguisé" is preferred to something like "habillé" in this context? Is it an idiomatic expression?
Why is this not “ Mon père et vous vous êtes-vous ennuyés hier soir ?”
It’s a lot of “vous”, but it seems more consistent to me to “vouvoyer” throughout.
what does "tubes de Téléphone" mean?
Would it be wrong to say "il y rentre" instead of the corrected answer in the test " il y retourne"?
This was my question, then I answered 'Annie a gagné dix milliers d'euros'.
The system did not accept it. ..okay, maybe I wrote dix milliers de euros - instead of d'.. I guess that was the problem.
However, the explanation I had, was 'Annie a gagné dix mille euros'.
Can I also use the other option above, 'dix milliers d'euros'?
Merciiiiii

HI,
I was wondering would these two sentences be correct?
1) nous aimons Faire de la randonnée au canada
2) nous randonnons au canada
It's not homework just understanding the lesson on here better for practice.
Thanks
Nicole
Is "baies rouges" acceptable or only "fruits rouges"? And does "fruits rouges" mean a specific type of berry, or can it be e.g. redcurrants, cranberries etc?
