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

reviser translation to english

Small point. 'After studying for your exam..' 'use reviser' , it might be more accurate to use the common English expression, 'after revising for your exam'. Revising implies going over old material, studying usually means learning new material. IMHO

Les temps

Bonjour à toutes et à tous!

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!

Position of "ancien"

I translated ancient crater as "cratère ancien", but the answer guide has "ancien cratère". The lesson about "ancien" says that it means "ancient" after the noun, but "former" before. Why is it before the noun here?
