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.
Why would it be "C'était un bâtard" not "Il était un bâtard?" The statement is specific. I asked my partner, who is a native French speaker, and he said both sounded correct/normal to him. He couldn't figure out why the latter is unacceptable, even viewing the rules provided.
When translating the name Maryse Lépine I just assumed it was the same in french as in english but it is corrected to l'Épine. Is that right?
Elle les (découper) - I think should be ‘Elles les découpes’ with a direct plural object, n’est-ce pas?
...the text option “où, comme chaque année, nous avons fêté Noël.” has the audio “où nous avons fêté Noël.”
Tu sais, le célèbre couturier ? Why is "sais" used rather than "connaiss”? I thought: Savoir means "to know a fact", while connaître means to know a person or to be familiar with a person, place or thing. Merci!
Hi,
I was wondering with the pronunciation of the days of the week am I right that the J sounds like a Z in the audio? Do all J's have that same sound?
Thanks
Nicole
I think there may be a problem on your end here with the technology. It has been very difficult to advance to the next sentence in the dictation, as it seems the system is "stuck." Please look into this matter. Thank you.
Is it always incorrect to write "vingtième siècle" rather than "XXe siècle" ?
I get caught out by the punctuation in the listening exercises, partly because modern English writing has now dropped so many of the commas that we used to have, and partly because it’s difficult to know from the audio what punctuation is needed. A lesson on this would be useful.
