French language Q&A Forum

Hi Jim,

Thanks very much for your response.  My query was based on my understanding that, 'lui' referred to their invention- the hot air balloon, which is inanimate. Further clarification would be welcome.

do these adverbs need to agree with the object's gender?

Although I write the true answer such as "qu'est-ce que....", because of not beginning the sentence without capital letter, it is not accepted as a true answer!  The aim of this courses / exercises should not be PUNISH, it should be COURAGE !!!

This isn't really related to the lesson itself, but in the little quiz under the lesson, for "Je l'aime bien qu'il soit un peu paresseux." the answer was "I love him although he's a bit lazy." (which I answered correctly so no questions on "bien que") but isn't "aimer bien" is closer to "like" than "love" as taught in your lesson about this verb? 

Good day
Please see the question below:
La France est dotée d'un territoire aux climats et aux reliefs variés, grâce ________ sa production agricole est très diversifiée.

I wrote "à qui", but it was marked incorrect, saying that "auquel" is the only correct answer. Why is "à qui" unacceptable in this context?

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

Wow! Thank you for this lesson. It has been a subject that has been somewhat confusing to me and I really needed this. I will have to reread and practice though to increase my understanding, and to reinforce my confidence. 

Hi It seems a spelling mistake with the below statement "L'épicier pèse les légumes, puis nous les repesons" I dont thing an verb have "repesons" as it's conjugation, please clarify.
