What is the 1st conjugation for?
I was going to write about 'very fun' here - it is a controversial phrase in English to say the least ! I haven't heard it used in about the past 60 years. However, I see this has come up in another topic, where 'very fun' was subsequently to be changed to 'great fun' - this should be done in this lesson as well. The preferred answers should also reflect that 'great fun' is not the same as 'very funny'.
While I am here, 'next week's test' - a student is talking, so the informal « l'interro » is more likely than « l'évaluation » unless a major assessment is proposed. Although the final transcript reasonably uses « le test », the correction board on the way through scrubbed « l'interro » for the more formal « l'évaluation », indicating that as the 'best answer' .
On the next screen « camarade de classe » for 'classmate' (correct) was crossed off for the imprecise and less formal « camarade ». Either should be indicated as being correct.
I thought arrière was an invariable adjective...?
Cette nouvelle aventure m'enthousiasme = this new adventure excites me. But "enthousiasme " isn't a verb (is it?), so how does this clause work?
Not sure if I am missing an easy way to do this but when a search in QandA is done, I can't see an easy way to link to the full discussion. For example, a common question on avoir besoin de and avoir peur de has been raised again. This was subject to a very detailed discussion just recently and short of scrolling through many pages, I cannot find it to link for the questioner. I can see Cécile's answer, but the rest of the discussion is not linked from there. If there isn't a way presently, is it possible to look at doing this? There are many discussions dating back years now that have lots of good information, and also discussions arising from the other exercises that are worth referring to.
The narrative reads "à la chasse aux oeufs" omitting "en chocolat"
is the near future in the imperfect the same as the subjective? To translate something such as I "was/were going to" seems subjective to me.
