How would I say "Someone you can trust." ?
Quelqu'un on peut faire confiance ?
Cecile,
I believe, 'Alice never listens to you.' would be:
Alice ne t'ecoute jamais. Sorry, I don't know how to put accents with my keyboard
Dear Aurélie,
These writing exercises are a true exercise in humility. I test in the 90's for C1 grammar but I consistently fail (often get less than 50%) in the writing exercises. It took me over a year to accept this - I always would find my performance very disappointing and avoided the exercises (tip to others: don't avoid. They will improve your French, painfully and slowly in my case). The writing exercises are excellent and introduce a wide variety of expressions and of contexts, but perhaps students should be forewarned that one's grammar level on Kwiziq will be higher than one's performance on the translation/writing exercises.
In the sentence "qui vient d'accueillir son premier animal familier" - Why are we using "son"? I've read the lesson still don't understand. Is it because of it being used generally?
In the sentence - "Je dirais que le plus important est d'apprendre à vivre ensemble" why is there no "chose" involved to mean "the most important thing"?And in that same sentence, why is it that "De" is used to express "TO learn"? why not "à"?
Also in the sentence "ce soit bon pour un animal de rester enfermé" is the "De" required because of "être"?
And lastly - "la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner" why did this sentence get knocked into the subjunctive?
Apologies for all these questions but this exercise really got me confused!
Etait un peu difícil maís c'est bien pour apprendre. Merci beaucoup.

Your lesson says negative sentences using depuis use passé composé yet when I do that your corrections use the present
why in this exercise is the nous form used one time and the on form another when they are both times speaking about what they will do together?
Why 'du' in 'la demeur du Capitaine Haddock' instead of 'de' as in fan de Tintin and Château de Cheverny? In general, when I interpret something as possessive, for example Tintin's fan or Cheverny's castle, I use 'de'. So, I am puzzled about the use of 'du' for Captain Haddock's house. I get this wrong a lot, so if you can point me to a grammar lesson or give me some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, in advance.
Can you use 'c'est chaud/c'est moche' etc to talk about the conditions that the weather has created? For example, at the hight of summer it's not uncommon to hear 'c'est chaud' as one enters someone's home.
