Today, I got the same question: "Sarah ________ la salade à Michel," but this time the answer was "passe," with no reflexive pronoun!
The same question can NOT have different answers. Please explain, this is driving me crazy!
Is it the same as in sports where if you do it in general its faire but if you're doing it in the moment it's jouer?
Why is the future rather than the present not used for this? i.e. 'next time I will choose the film' or 'next time I am going to choose the film' because it is suggesting an action in the future.
Would it be acceptable to say « une question très dure » instead of « très difficile »? If not, what is the difference between dure and difficile?
Why is "de" necessary before "l'or" in this sentence since we're speaking of gold in a general sense?
Also, the prompt asked for "At night" but my translation "La nuit" was corrected to "Le soir". Shouldn't this be for "In the evening"? Thank you for your help!
Thanks to Maarten and Alan, I had 4 responses all of which were marked as "select this as correct answer". There is ambiguity, and how do I resolve this as a learner. My reference was related to Cliffs Quick Review French 1 (ch3 under Articles). A definitive answer would be great!
I went with "Le Halloween".
In my research, I found reference to an answer to a question that "Noël and Pâques don't have an article in front of them but the Saints days do". Is Halloween like Christmas and Easter (no article), and does this apply to other non-Saint holidays?
It might be helpful if you indicate which it is? My natural inclination is to think it's past tense.
