It seems I am not the only one to have difficulty with these three concepts using rappeler. I get it wrong in every A2 kwiz. I think I need a simpler explanation. I feel brain-dead with it at the moment, so I'm going to leave it and come back later. That diamond is going to be elusive!
To translate the sentence " That time is not convenient for me", should one use le temps or l'heure to express the time ?Thanks for the help !
The lesson states:
To express to need + [noun], you will use :avoir besoin de/d' + (article) + noun
The examples cited show the use of the indefinite article but none include the definite article and it could be implied that the definite article is never used after avoir besoin de/d' which is obviously wrong. It is the old problem of the specific vs the general. Since this is a perrenial problem for French learners, it might be an idea to spell it out more explictly in the lesson.

Bonjour,
If you can't say "j'ai d'autres chaussures", how then would you express "I have other shoes".
Merci.
I don't hear this being pronounces as préférerais BUT as préférais.
I have played it several times.
Whether a definite or indefinite article
In another lesson, it talks about not using mon, ton etc but using le, la etc. with clothing and parts of the body. Therefore, would it be better to say
"Le manteau est pareil, et la cravate est pareille " rather than "Mon manteau est pareil, et ma cravate est pareille"
or can you say both or does it depend upon context?
Thanks
Rachel
