Why was “je vais au parc” marked wrong. Isn’t it an alternative way of saying “I go to the park” along with “dans le parc”?
It says “you always use the masculine with c'est. ”
But in the very beginning example “c’est une jolie robe”
Here the adjective is feminine- how? Also, it says when its followed with une/un then we us “ c’est” - how une can be following c’est when the adjective is feminine?
In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?
What is the difference between très and trop? Because it corrected me when I said "Il est très drôle" instead of "Il est trop drôle". Thanks!
Je vais aller à l'épicerie. - this was marked wrong because the answer should be without aller, but is it grammartically wrong or just not what the answer asking for?
Goodmorning, in the writing exercise "A favour between colleagues" the solution can be:
- "Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ?" or
- "Que puis-je faire pour toi ?"
Would it be incorrect to say "Qu'est-ce que puis-je faire pour toi ?". Thanks in advance.
In this example Je vois un soleil jaune et une fleur jaune. the pronounciation of the word jaune is very different for the first and second occurence. The first one is pronounced with an e almost like jauné, while the second one has a silent e like jaun.
Is the word pronounced differently depending on the gender, is the speech broken (it sounds very robotic), or is it pronounced differently depending on what word it comes before in the sentence (here ... jaune et ...)?
In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (Conjugate pouvoir in the conditional present in French = could (Le Conditionnel Présent)), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?
Is 'pas' missing because this is spoken French? Or is this a case where it isn't needed?
Why is it "la plus parlée *au* monde"? The relevant lesson says to use "de": Forming the superlative of French adjectives in complex cases
