French language Q&A Forum

I struck a problem with moitie/demi- not a problem with French, but with the English sentence in the exercise. If an English speaker says "I ate half a chicken", it is not possible for an English-speaking person to be certain what the English speaker means. It could mean EITHER he consumed 50% of a chicken OR that he bought half a chicken and ate it all. My point is, that one cannot divine the English speaker's meaning without more information. It follows, in this case, that a test question that demands a choice made between moitie or demi cannot be incorrect. Here, I think, the subtlety (or the casualness) of English speech has not been understood.

What does the translation of the verb lofer (to luff) mean? I've never heard this word before thanks 

I answered the question "Elle a manqué le bus, donc elle doit ________." as aller a pied, but this was scored as incorrect. But the lesson tells me to use this when walking is CONTRASTED WITH ANOTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORT, which it seems to me is exactly the case here! 

What am I missing????

Sentance was given Quand vous y êtes retourné whereas the correct is Quand vous y êtes retournés

 the equivalent time: zéro heure quarante-cinq 

to think of someone is both de and a int he examples, is there a way to know which to use?

An observation 

When I leave the dashboard to do a Kwiz, I then get the option to do another Kwiz.. (Test recommended again) and continuing without going back to the dashboard and often find that there are new questions coming up on subjects that I have not studied.. then when I go back to the dashboard, I discover that there are a whole load of new lessons.

Any chance of indicating next to the Kwiz again box that there are new lessons on the dashboard?

Bonjour — do you not use the liaison after “vais”? Is it optional or forbidden? Merci.
