I used

1) 'récompensant' for 'gratifiant'

Also

2)'ausculter' for 'diagonistique'

3)pour sept ans instead of 'pendant sept ans'

Please let me know if its right

Merci

P.J 

is diagnostiquer an er verb?

On est très proches, ma sœur et moi. On est gentils.

Here we have est with proches/gentils. Is it a general rule?

Why is the correct answer ‘preservation’ not ‘conservation ‘?

In the translation of, "I've always been fascinated by French high fashion, of which Yves Saint-Laurent is one of the most iconic figures.", do we use l'une instead of l'un because of the agreement with the 'la figure' ?

Hello, I am wondering why to use "c´est" instead of "elle est" to translate "she is an angel". Doesn't "c´est" mean "it is", used to describe an object? Can you use "c´est" about a person and why is it better than simply saying "elle est"?

It might be grammatically correct but it’s kinda creepy! Kwiziq has to cater for all tastes I suppose.

Est-ce que je peux écrire

 baisser la température

a la place de 

faire descendre la temperature

Merci

I read in a French magazine:

La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.

I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country. 

But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !

I needed to Google ‘Roland Garros’ to find out that it was the name of what I’m sure most of us know as The French Open. I thought it must be a player so answered accordingly. Thank you for accepting my answer even though it was incorrect!

For des bruits "rigolos," can I use "drôles?"
