French language Q&A Forum

I understand that "Gregory part pour les vacances." works and seems to match the following less example most closely: "Nous irons en Guadeloupe pour les vacances."

However, I don't understand how durant and pendant also work with this example. Can someone kindly explain it as I don't see how it matches the examples in the lesson. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This sentence on this page, "You do not need use the partitive articles" is missing the word "to" between the "need" and "use".

Just figured since you are helping me with my french, I'd help you with the english :)

Bonjour,

Can someone please explain why the following is marked incorrect?  I'm having the same issue that Michael appeared to have in December but it's still outstanding for me.

"Qu'est-ce que c'est La Sorbonne" is scored incorrect, and  the accepted answer is:

"Qu'est-ce que La Sorbonne", but according to the lesson:

If you want to ask what something is by name, simply add the name of the thing after c'est quoi or qu'est-ce que c'est. These are not the most elegant questions, but probably the most commonly used.

Merci

Ce jour-là tu as retenu la parole.

and the only accepted answer was:

Ce jour-là tu as retenu parole.

Could someone advise on why the former is incorrect? Is it idiomatic?

thanks
