For the last phrase, que je vous ai préparée, why is the "e" added to préparée. Shouldn't it be an "s" because vous is the direct object.
Why is this not “ Mon père et vous vous êtes-vous ennuyés hier soir ?”
It’s a lot of “vous”, but it seems more consistent to me to “vouvoyer” throughout.
Hello. I answered the following exercise question incorrectly, selecting en instead of dans.
Les enfants sont ________ le métro.
The children are on the subway.I recently read this guidance in a Quick Lesson and thought en would be the correct choice. Could both be considered correct?
When talking about travelling somewhere, you will use à for "individual" modes of transport (walking, bicycle, bike etc), and en for "group" modes of transport (bus, coach, car, subway, etc).
Thanks for the help!
Consider...
1. "Paul should have left earlier."
2. "Paul should have had to leave earlier."As I understand it, both these sentences would be translated as "Paul aurait dû partir plus tôt", even though, in English, there is a difference in meaning. Is there a better way to translate #2 to convey the meaning that Paul was compelled to leave?
My nearly correct answer was "à 2 heures de Chartes". Why was it not completely correct?
By the way, according to the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures), the official way to abbreviate "2 heures" is not "2h" but rather "2 h" with a space. See page 149 of

Bonjour,
Would it be correct to say
Une belle robe
A pretty dress
Un bel Enfant
A beautiful child
Merci
Nicole
Elle les (découper) - I think should be ‘Elles les découpes’ with a direct plural object, n’est-ce pas?
In the translation of, "I've always been fascinated by French high fashion, of which Yves Saint-Laurent is one of the most iconic figures.", do we use l'une instead of l'un because of the agreement with the 'la figure' ?
In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.
I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.
