Mon ordinateur ne march pas bien.  Il a saute quelque pages et je ne le peut pas renverse pour les completer.  Je voudrai repeter l'exercise du debut, et ne pas registrer les resultes de cet examen.  Merci pour votre consideration et aide.

hi,

when you guys have this sentence as an example un riche comme cresus homme it was marked wrong is that because it should have something else describing the riche? Also as i'm searching to understand this should i treat these as like the similie and metaphors as we do in english?

thank you

The exercise gave two possibilities: passer prendre et venir chercher.  My dictionary adds aller chercher, which is what I chose.  Is this not a possibility? Is it a question of perspective in this case?  The speaker is the one being picked up, hence venir.  If the speaker was asking what time he should pick someone up, then perhaps aller is preferred over venir.

Sorry, Bescherelle, La conjugation pour tous, states protégerait, so i’m going with the bible on this one.

Can you tell me why it is coffee honey versus just honey?
