In the noted exercise, the first sentence sounds like, "Cette année, on a DE la chance qu' ", but is written, " Cette année, on a la chance qu' ". Which is correct?
You example : Sam fait de l'aïkido. Sam does aikido. How can you explain the right answer as ".... going to dance lesson..."?
Bonjour,
I was wondering what do you mean by component adjectives? I see electric cable a wild animal etc but I am unsure why they are component.

Can anyone explain this; la diane means reveille as well as a name
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!
J'étais soulagée après que tu as réussi ton exam. Here, the main verb is in the plus que parfait and après que is followed by a verb in the passé composé. Isn't that backwards; shouldn't the main verb be in the passé composé and the subordinate verb be in the plus que parfait?
"Quand elle aura des enfants, elle changera d'avis."
Usually we use 'changer de + noun' as a rule. So if I say '"...elle changera de son avis." Why is that incorrect? ....to say... "...she will change her opinion/mind."
Are L'accord vs l'entente equivalent for agreement?
I forgot to check the send e-mail box with my question below & had to redo this exercise to get to the Q&A in order to do so to request a response. I certainly hope part of the upgrade will be the ability to check the Q&A, at least after completing the exercise, without having to repeat the exercise every time.
