Is spelling in responses of événements correct. It looks like è on second e
I'm very confused with devoir and which tense to use now, as your lesson said devoir in imperfect meant "supposed to do" and perfect meant "had to do", yet you use the imperfect to say "had to do" here ? Can you please explain and also explain what that lesson actually means as it doesn't seem to be relevant?
Just an F.Y.I.:
The exercise is missing the audio, "...et vous prenez la rue en face." during the dictation. I clicked the button several times, but there was no sound.
Merci
Can we say aux agents de bord instead of avec les agents de bord?
Correct answer given is with ‘nulle part’ at the end. No problem with that but what is wrong with ‘n’importe où’? I’ve looked at the discussions and can’t find a definitive explanation for appropriate use of one over the other. Doesn’t ‘nulle part’ mean nowhere rather than anywhere? Merci as ever for guidance.
Hello! I'm confused about the sentence: "Pour que tous les habitants comprennent, le roi François Ier décide en 1539 .... " If the English translation takes place in the past tense (the king François decided), why does the phrase seem to be conjugated in the present tense? Why not "le roi François Ier a décidé?" Merci!
'If you dont like sweet potatoe, there are other vegetables". Surely these "other vegitables'' are a specific number of vegitables available for eating at that meal. Not the whole vegetable kingdom. So why not "des autres"?
Statement: Alain a paye l'hotel
Why is the question: Alain paye-t-il l'hotel and not Alain a-t-il paye l'hotel?
Sorry - I can't find the accents!!!
Why is there no "une" before "salle de bains" in this sentence: "Oui, une chambre double avec salle de bains privative."
I have read the lesson and the forum. At this level, is it really necessary to learn several (confusing) ways of asking these questions? Could we learn to use one, the commonest one, and then come back to another lesson later for all the variations. I cannot get past this test (but I can get what I want in a boulangerie!) :)
