Never mind I read the quetion wrong and it wouldn’t let me just delete the question…

Bonjour! The only word in the word game is Espagnol(Spanish). Can you fix this? Merci!

Son copain est bien mais le mien est ________.Her boyfriend is nice but mine is better. mieux meilleur plus bien pire

Bonjour,
J'ai répondu: ...je ne savais pas que ma vie changerait *tellement*.

Mais l'activité à la bonne réponse:... je ne savais pas que ma vie changerait *autant*.

Est-ce que "tellement" et "autant" sont égales ici ?

I think I’m confused about this. The lesson says that Je suis is used for “I am” but I got the question on the quiz wrong oui, merci Je _____  mieux aujourd'hui. And the translation was “yes, thank you, I’m better today.” I put “Je suis” because “I’m” is the contraction for “I am,” but the correct answer was Je vais, which is used for “I feel.” Was I just taking the translation too literally?

1 "qui semblaient occupés à transporter de la nourriture jusqu'à leur terrier". Why not "leurs terriers"? The English text is "their burrows", i e in plural.

2. "Elles sont restées à les regarder une dizaine de minutes". The first time I worked through this translation excercise I used "observer" as a translation of "observe", but this was flagged and not given as an alternative. Thus, in the second time around I used "regarder", but this time "observer" was the correct translation and "regarder" was not given as an alternative. I cannot be wrong both times🤔.

Hi, not sure if it's been answered already but what about adjective placement with trés? it is not a long adverb but wouldn't une très jolie maison be grammatically correct?

Thanks!

Bonjour

I'm having a problem with this clause from a novel: "... sous les yeux cancres et rigolards de leurs jeunes amants."  I don't know what the word 'cancre' means here. I can only find a noun meaning 'dunce' but I cannot find in any dictionaries an adjectival definition or use as in this example. Help please.
