What does the translation of the verb lofer (to luff) mean? I've never heard this word before thanks
Is there somewhere I can find the number of French topics covered on Kwiziq per CEFR level?
Test given. She bought a new hat. Am I to assume that it was a secondhand hat . There was no indication that it was a second hand hat. The English translation needs to be better phrased
Maybe there are regional differences, but I would not say "I am going to see with (Julie), but etc etc" as it is used in the sentence in this exercise. That would be "I am going to check with Julie, but . . . " or "I am going to see what Julie says/thinks, but. . . .".
It reads to me as if the literal translation from the French expression "Je vais voir avec Julie, mais ..." has been used here, but it doesn't sound right (to me) in English.
"I am going to see with Julie, but . . " would indicate something along the lines of 'keeping an eye on her', 'giving her a chance to' etc
une glace au chocolat OK.....

Des oeufs EN chocolat...????

This question was found on a C1 test. The answer that was provided was: Nous avons ouvert les fenêtres de peur qu'il n'ait une fuite de gaz.
My problem is with the use of the word might. Might means may be, could be, which suggests the use of pouvoir, de peur qu'il ne puisse y avoir une fuite de gaz. When translating the answer that was given, I would say: We opened the windows out of fear there was a gas leak. No might is needed.
