To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."
I keep pressing submit answer when I really mean to press play again so end up submitting no answer but can’t go back to the previous stage or start the exercise again. It would be easier if the play button was at the bottom. I’m using an iPad.
For "And I've worked in the same town...", I put "J'ai travaillé dans the la même ville..." but the correct answer is given as "Et je travaille dans la même ville...".
Why is the present conjugation of travailler used instead of the compound tense?
I put in some different answers from what was accepted and wondered if any of the following were possible.
1. For "I really need to save", is it OK to use "il faut vraiment", or does "absolument" always naturally go with "il faut" ?
2. For "I've stopped buying expensive brands", can I also use the reflexive "Je me suis arrêtée d'acheter des marques chères" ?
3. For "and instead I've tried the supermarket brands" can we use "au lieu" in place of "à la place"?; and finally :
4. For "I must admit", can the verb "avouer" replace "admettre", as in "Je dois l'avouer..." or does this have a different sense ?
Thanks
Hi, just to let you know, there are three occasions in this exercise where there is “mille-sept-cent…” in the audio, but “dix-sept-cent…” in the text”.
why don't you add more things like why don't you try to make levels and awards and you can earn things and play french games.
please think of that.
How to identify passe compose
I'm confused by the correct answer to this question:
>>La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes.
I wrote "un cent million de". However, the correct answer was "cent millions de".
Why do we drop the "un" in this case (unlike the examples)? Why is "millions" plural, even though it is only 1 million?
Why is pas not used in this example? "...je ne le pensais pas"? What is the concept/rule that I'm missing here?
Tu parles moins que je ne le pensais.
