Le P.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Does « on » take singular or plural verb?On est restés à l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que la pluie s'arrête.

Why not on est resté

or nous sommes restés

« On » is singular, grammatically speaking, like the impersonal/formal « one » in English, but in the example it appears to be being treated as plural « nous »

I would have thought On est restés was incorrect.

Anxieux vs nerveux

Should je suis toujours anxieux also be an accepted answer compared to je suis toujours nerveux? Or perhaps anxieux is considered more a medical condition and too strong in this context?

Tom and Paula kissed themselves in front of the mirror.

It might be grammatically correct but it’s kinda creepy! Kwiziq has to cater for all tastes I suppose.

Cette maison est bien. - Oui, elle est ________ l'autre.

Pour cette question, j'ai mis "meilleure que" mais cela dit que la bonne reponse doit etre "mieux que", alors qui a raison? Je pensais qu'on utilise "meilleur" avec le verbe etre.

Devions or éions

Celine, not to be too picky but it is "devions" rather than "devrions" isn't it?

Position of Derniere and meaning

Last time he came, he didn't behave himself.fois dernièredernière foisprochaine foisfois prochaine
when I did this quiz I was marked incorrect when I chose "fois derniere"
but the lesson says I'm right. Dernier fois means last time as in "final time"?

Vocabulary lists

Hello,

I just wondered if it is possible to ask Kwiziq if it can add words to certain vocabulary lists? I am doing another course and would like vocabulary all in the same place. For example, we have covered l'energie, but there are quite a few words in our course that are not in Kwiziq eco-friendly list.

regards,

Mandy
