Could someone explain the rule for describing who someone is; i.e. why does 'she is my wife' translate as c'est ma femme? - "it is my wife'!
Thanks.
I decided to take a chance today and add an e on the end of "je me suis ennuyée" to see whether it would be accepted as an answer. It wasn't. It's a shame really, given that this is what those of us who are female should be writing. I suppose it would constitute a huge amount of work for Kwiziq to incorporate feminine options thoughout all the quizzes. But perhaps this could be a long-term goal?
I don’t know why my answer wouldn’t be qu’ in this instance, rather than the unshortened que. I’d appreciate guidance.
In the first sentence of the text - Did you know that the town council [US: city hall] has decided.... etc., the Hint advises ...- "has decided" = Use Le Plus-que-Parfait here.
In the related lesson, the examples show 'had' and not 'has' as being translated using the plus-que-parfait?
For the English "He put his hands in his pockets." I wrote "Il met les mains dans ses poches." however, it was corrected to "Il met les mains dans les poches.".
This doesn't seem correct to me however I cannot find the example again in the exercises.
Would anybody be able to advise?
How would you say "Ben will sit at that desk until after he's finished his homework." ?Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs.
Dear Kwiziq Team,
It has been more than 24 hours that I paid money to upgrade my account. I received the receipts from your side on email as well. But my account is still not upgraded. I have written multiple times to your email id and have not received any reply. Also I contacted on the phone no. provided but it was unavailable. I have left the message but no reply.. Please let me know how much time do you take to upgrade after receiving the payment. otherwise please refund my money.
In this example, "You are leaving next Tuesday, aren't you", the correct answer used the present tense to indicate immediate future, but next Tuesday is not the immediate future. What is the cut-off? A week? A month? It varies?
