I translated "at the moment" as "en ce moment", rather than "pour le moment". I believe either one is correct, but "en ce moment" is not listed as an alternative. Would it be incorrect to use that formulation in this context?
HI,
I have been reading the responses to the questions below. Am I correct to assume that the way to use the indefinite articles with negation is if it's a general statement?
For example.
J'aime ni le café ni le thé
Je veux ni fromage ni oignon
Merci

je vais mettre mes valises dans le compartiment. Et leurs valises à eux? Mettez les leurs dans le compartiment aussi.
Why “à eux” at the end of second sentence please?
Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"
Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup or Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup.
Please clarify. TIA.
What is the meaning of 400 coups?

In the first phrase, "Quand je gagnerai au loto", could remporterai be used instead of gagnerai? Don't both these verbs mean to win.
How would I say, " Reading is my favorite pass-time, it relaxes me"? Where "it" refers to reading.
According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school."
When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à).
Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated.
Do these get graded or reviewed by someone to make sure we are writing properly?
Hi, I notice in some text books faire in the subjonctif present - third person plural is spelt fassent and not the same way as done here faissent. Can both spellings be used?
