In one of the previous lesson it was taught that we can use "par" with planes, here I use par but it was market incorrectly.
I thought that 'le présent' is used for the present and near future tenses, so why the answer of "Anne et Antoine se promènent avec leur chien." is only makert right to "Anne and Antoine are going for a walk with their dog." ?
Can't "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." be correct as well?
I know that the question is related to the lesson but I wan't to know if that meaning is correct in the day-to-day use.
Why is "dont" incorrect here?
Is the pronunciation of the 's' optional in tandis que?
I believe there is an issue with the recording on the last sentence, I can report it to support if you like but thought I would post it here first. The sentence is Mes progrès sont encourageants !
The issue is around the sont word. I should have just thought about what made sense instead of just what I could hear, but it just threw me and I wouldn't wnat it to affect other beginners.
For the sentence, - J'ai plein de parfums !, would - J'ai de nombreux parfums ! be acceptable. It was not given as an alternate.
Pourquoi manque-t-il l’article au nom de Haïti ?
Please help! Text: "Le matin on fait le lit. On le couvre pour faire joli et bien rangé." I translated it loosely as "we cover it(the bed) for 'it' to be pretty and tidy" But why is it not '.. pour le faire joli et bien rangé ' (why is the object pronoun not repeated??) Without the object pronoun (pour le faire) couldnt it also mean "we cover it (the bed) to be 'pretty and tidy'...(we do it so we appear to be nice and organized). Bottom line... what is the grammar explanation, if any, for no 'le/la' between pour and faire in the text.
Why not française to make the accord with feminin région ?
"Ce que j'aime le plus au mois de juin, c'est me la couler douce" - is "la" a substitution for la vie here?
