I used "faire du camping", which is good French and comes straight from le grand Robert. Why was this rejected?
It might be grammatically correct but it’s kinda creepy! Kwiziq has to cater for all tastes I suppose.
In the second sentence, the conversation has "lui" although it is hard to distinguish "lui" from "leur" with the speaker's intonation. For the remainder of the conversation, the conversation has "leur" when referring to the recipient(s) of the gift. While I can get the difference after listening for multiple times, I still find it strange that the two are not consistent.
Why we use "va" instead of "vas"? I thought it was "vas" since they communicate with "Tu".
How do we get better at French?
Why is it "en weekend" instead of "un weekend"? Surely,the article is called for rather than the preposition. Thanks.
Hello, please advise if ´bien entendu’ is an adverb in the phrase J'avais bien entendu parler de ce nouveau poste and parler should be a participle
Thank you
Taking Maarten’s sentence as a starting point “When 'on' can be replaced by the specific subject pronoun 'nous', adjectives agree with number and are therefore plural (only the past participle/adjective, not the auxiliary verb conjugation).”
My question is, assuming that we have decided to indeed follow the agreement rule, if the specific group that “on” refers to were all female, would the sentence then be “On était éberluées”? I.e. does the gender get reflected in the adjective in the same way that it would if we used “nous” and the group were all female (“nous étions éberluées”).
For the last question, two alternative answers were given which included "il s’est transformé en un aimable/ agréable jeune homme".
That "en un ai-/ ag-" sounds a little strange to an English ear - is it common?
