Bonjour, 

Est-ce que c'est ne pas mieux à dire " je me promener" en lieu de je marche? 

Merci

De not des?Je trouve qu'il a de bons arguments.I think he's got good arguments.
In the example from this lesson, why is “de” used and not “des”?

Spelling of vingt

Line 7: My answer of vingt-huit was marked incorrect compared to Kwizbot's answer of ving-huit - no 't' at the end of vingt.

ne…pas de

I’ve always thought that in a negation the preposition ‘de’ is used, so in « I don’t waste water » I wrote « je ne gaspille pas d’eau » but this was corrected to « je ne gaspille pas l’eau ». My thought pattern was supported in « when I can’t cycle » - « quand je ne peux pas faire de vélo » (given that : to cycle = faire du vélo). Can this be explained ?

« Voudrais » vs « aimerais »

Hello, I had to translate « I would like some more love in my life ». My understanding was that voudrais is used when I’m asking for something to be given to me, such as a drink or object, and aimerais is used when I would like something to happen as opposed to being given a physical object. However, this was marked wrong. Is using aimerais in this example very unnatural? Thank you!

Pendent/Durant

Tu es reste' enferme' ____________ une heure.  I put "pendent" which should have been "durant".  I have reviewed the lesson and can't find any distinction between pendent and durant.  What am I missing?

A2 En, dans, de etc etc.

Great , I'll just stop now and learn the 400 or so countries, counties and regions I'll need to operate this lesson... maybe one day the next level ...who knows - don't the French make mistakes and stand corrected and move on ? 

Someone at the Foreign office once asked if General de Gaulle believed in God? Someone answered - it would depend how good God's French was.!
