Negative emotions

Good exercise, but it reminds me to ask, could we have more topics about the darker sides of life? I feel that because the exercises are very strongly weighted towards positive scenarios there’s a whole dimension of human experience that I’m not learning the vocabulary and phrases for. Thanks.

Question Format

Bonjour,

I just wanted to point out that the multiple-choice questions on this test did not include the instruction that, "one, some, or all may be correct." In the past this has led me to choose only one option even though I thought that more than one was correct. This time, I chose the options that I thought were right and aced the Kwiz.

I bring this up only because it may cause some confusion to other learners as well.

I realize that I should have clicked on the Report button, but I had already returned to the lesson.

Merci beaucoup !

Adjective Placement - délicat / fragile / épaisse

The corrections recommend that these adjectives appear before the word "beffroi." Same situation with "épaisse muraille." Why?

The use of "here"

Is it still considered general when the adjective is followed by "here", why does this not revert back to the normal agreement rules?

Past and future

This is touched on in the discussion, but I wonder if you can clarify which expressions can be used in the future too? Obviously hier and demain cannot. I realise the first paragraph does specify "past point of view" but there doesn’t seem to be a future equivalent lesson. Thanks, and I’m sorry to add to an already long thread!
