Bonjour ,I had a doubt with the a question — Invites-tu quelqu’un ce soir?
What would be the expected answer in negative ?
I was taught that 'qui' was used when the subject of the verb and 'que' when the object of the verb
The listing of all of the cases can mislead people that may not have done previous lessons; either assume people know the difference between qui and que and cut out the listing or assume they don't and shine a light on:
(Tout ce) qui = Subject of the following verb
(Tout ce) que = Object of the following verb
Hello
So on the writing challenge test,( If I could start all over...). I translated the last sentence "I could even get a dog." using "pouvais" meaning "able to" but the correct translation was using "pourrais" the conditional form. Please clarify!,Thank you, Karen
Bonjour!
What is the meaning of half-sister and half-brother in English ?
Thanks and regards

What does "en gras" mean in the context of a title?
Why is it not 'qui ne la mangeraient pas'...?
The marking is incorrectly red-lining the 's' on " grands-" in < grands-parents >. This had occurred in another lesson previously as well and was subsequently reported to have been corrected.
The use of < l'a réussi > for "passed it" is also being red-lined incorrectly, as also recently noted by James. As < l'a obtenu > is not accepted either, this suggests only 1 correct way to say passed an exam in French.
The choice of imparfait or passé composé for devoir in "she had to work hard" would be made clearer if the rest of the sentence was on the same screen - the final screen presented would then be 'she had to work hard but she passed it'.
(Per the lesson on devoir in imparfait or passé composé - both can be translated into English as 'had to', and it is the 'certainty of outcome/completion' that defines the choice.
Using "devoir" in the imperfect tense versus the compound past in French (L'Imparfait vs Le Passé Composé)
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?
