I understood from the lesson that one could say,
Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne? or Qu'est-ce que la Sorbonne? but the answer of the quiz gives the first answer as wrong and the second correct? Have I missed something or are they both correct?
please direct me to a lesson on how/when to use passé composé with imparfait in a sentence
The phrase 'which seemed to have been left there' is translated as 'qui semblaient avoir été laissées là'.
Could you also translate it using 'y' rather than 'là' (and if so, where would the 'y' go ?) ?
je pense que c'est Costard et pas costar.
Just pointing out that the accepted answers in this exercise for "I really like Émile" only include "J'aime vraiment Émile" and "J'adore Émile", but the corresponding lesson on the verb "aimer" uses "aimer beaucoup" (rather than "aimer vraiment") to say you really like someone/something. Maybe "J'aime beaucoup Émile" could be added as an acceptable alternative answer so that it matches the attached lesson.
How would I know which is correct?:
Cette écharpe rappelle ma mère à moi.
Cette écharpe me rappelle ma mère
Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns? Pierre m'en a offert.
I don't want to be pedantic but the sentence "A few months ago, I worked from my house for three weeks. ." the best answer was "Il y a quelques mois, j'ai travaillé de chez moi pendant trois semaines." the final para however reads "Il y a quelques mois, j'ai fait du télétravail pendant trois semaines." (A few months ago, I was teleworking for three weeks.) I realise there are many ways of saying the same thing but this was not given as the best option and seems to be different to the text being translated. It might be time for me to have a break!
