Mais pourquoi , on dit pas : je ne veux pas venir ce soir ?
No mention is made in the lesson for verbs ending in uire (conduits, traduire, construire) that when conjugating the verb construire, the first R is dropped in nous constuisons and vous constuisez. Is it also dropped in ils/elles constuisent or does it stay as in construisent? Does this also apply for détruire?
The lesson says "j'ai mal, tu as mal" etc. In a test the question was to translate "Antoine's shoulders hurt". I wrote "Il a mal a les epaules" and it came up wrong, saying i should have written il fait mal a les epaules" (sorry it wouldn't let me put accents on)
Pourquoi dit-on 'j'habite Orléans" et non pas
"J'habite à Orléans"?
The accepted answers included:
- j'ai toujours eu des sentiments très mitigés à ce sujet
- j'ai toujours eu des sentiments très mitigés sur le sujet
I put a combination of the two: "J'ai toujours eu des sentiments très mitigés sur ce sujet" which was not considered correct.
Is there a reason why "sur le sujet" works but "sur ce sujet" does not?
Je me demande si ces manifestants de cette époque là sont les mêmes personnes qui sont les victimes de la violence musulmane maintenant en France?
Qu’est-ce qu’on a ajouté (what was added) au participe passé, allé, quand le sujet a changé dans le tableau précédent?
Qu’est ce qu’on ajoute?
Il est allé - masculin singulier
rien
Ils sont allés- masculin pluriel
allé + les accords
Elle est allée- féminin singulier
allé + les accords
Elles sont allées- féminin pluriel
allé +
In this exercise "C'est pour ma petite amie." was accepted as correct but "C'est pour ma copine." was not shown as another possible answer, even though that's the sentence given in "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to:". The system also accepted "les cardigans", as correct but shows "les gilets" in the final text, even though that was not given as another possible answer. The system accepted both instances as correct when I entered "un cardigan de lain" & "le cardigan de lain" but shows "un gilet en laine" & "le gilet en laine" in the final text, which is even more confusing having the masculine articles "un" & "le" with the feminine(?) adjective laine. The first time I did the exercise when I entered "C'est très difficile de choisir", "difficile" was highlighted as incorrect & "C'est très dur de choisir" was given as the correct answer. The second time "difficile" was accepted & "dur" was given as another possible answer. I don't remember if "à fleurs" was given as another possible answer to florale, but I'm guessing they're synonymous. J'ai mal à la tête.
Am I missing something?
In number 6, I submitted the phrase “pour fabriquer des” and it was corrected to “pour fabrique les,” but in the paragraph above it contradicts that correction. Which is right?
