Je suis toujours un peu confus par les temps dans cet article. Je sais que quelque fois le présent indicatif pourrait exprimer les événements qui vont arriver au futur proche. Mais ici, c'est évident que l'auteur est déjà allé en vacances, sinon comment pourrait-il juger des activités "difficile" ou "fantastique"? Ma question est comment savoir, à partir de ces jugements, que le présent indicatif ici exprime le passé et pas un programme pour le futur?

J'espère que ma question est assez claire. Merci pour le site, je l'aime bien!

Gender agreement

Mes chausseurs ne vont pas ensemble: _____ est bleu est l'autre jaune-colors may be wrong. I put l'un which was wrong and l'une was right. What am I missing here, chausseur is masculine

Bad software

I'm pretty sure that the quiz got the question on "vert" wrong. Could you please check that out?

Deciding moitie versus demi.

I struck a problem with moitie/demi- not a problem with French, but with the English sentence in the exercise. If an English speaker says "I ate half a chicken", it is not possible for an English-speaking person to be certain what the English speaker means. It could mean EITHER he consumed 50% of a chicken OR that he bought half a chicken and ate it all. My point is, that one cannot divine the English speaker's meaning without more information. It follows, in this case, that a test question that demands a choice made between moitie or demi cannot be incorrect. Here, I think, the subtlety (or the casualness) of English speech has not been understood.

Problem with miniKwiz

Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?

This is confusing me... in English three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?

Other translations of Fearless

I remember hearing people sing a translation of Davy Crockett that included the line "l'homme qui n'a jamais peur." Can't "the fearless Gaul" also be translated as "le Gaulois sans peur"?

Pronom y ou le

Nous réfléchissons au futur. Tu ________ réfléchis aussi?

La bonne réponse est ''y'' , mais est-ce que c'est correct si je dit: Tu le réfléchis aussi ? Ou : Tu l'aussi ?
