I have lots of questions
First what's the use of this level test
This question was asked in a TV show I watched today: “…mais est-ce que lui voudra te voir?” My question is why is lui used instead of il?
Correct: Il est allé visiter une maison.
Incorrect: Il est allé à visiter une maison.
Can someone explain please? Thanks
Hi, in La Maison de Cendrillon the correction sais: Au rez-de chaussée, 1 hyphen?
I got the question Mathilde a rentré la voiture avant qu'il ne pleuve. wrong because I chose "Mathilde returned the car..." as the "correct" answer was "Mathilde put away the car..." But in English, saying you put away a car sounds like you put a small object away. Since a car is so big, you would return it to its proper destination, which is why I chose this answer. I feel that both these answers could technically be correct.
in the phrase 'avec son architecture colorée.' Why is the adjective feminine when the subject is masculine ?
Elderly Brit here. I would use the English past perfect in both halves of a sentence like "By the time I had finished eating, he had drunk a whole bottle" - when he’s drunk the bottle, I’ve already finished eating, a completed action.
Without wanting to split hairs, is the concept of the French "le temps que" slightly different to "by the time that" or does it just take (to my mind!) a less logical tense?
I am curious about the grammatical function of "de" in a sentence such as the following:
"Je ne prends pas de bonnes résolutions."
Thank you!
Kwiz question " we see her tonight" answer "nous la voyons cet soir". I think it should be "nous lui voyons...if you follow the quick lesson.
"Parvenir" goes with être and "Convenir" goes with avoir (unlike venir) in Passé composé?? Same goes for "Survenir" (goes with être) and "Subvenir" (goes with avoir). Where can I find all such cases of Venir??? The list given on Kwiziq does not have these verbs - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/verbs. Please help.
