Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect?  I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!

Hi, has “ Je vais suivre tes conseils, merci.” been imported from a different exercise incorrectly? It doesn’t seem to belong there at all. Brian

If 'en' suppose to put before feminine country name, then why we should to put before masculine noun 'en hiver'? Could someone help me in this case?

Est-ce que je peux écrire

 baisser la température

a la place de 

faire descendre la temperature

Merci

Not a question, but sounds like a great day I'd like to do merci beaucoup :)

Merci pour les nouveaux exercices d’écoute !

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 !

Bonjour,

Above in the explanation, it is mentioned that l'imparfait has no clear beginning or end. But when I attempted the Fill-in-the-blanks  Mon jour férié (Passé Composé vs Imparfait), there was a sentence - J’étais encore en pyjama vers 13h, (which is given as the correct answer). Whereas I had written, " J'ai encore été en pyjama vers 13h, and this answer was given as incorrect. But I don't understand, the end time is given here, (vers 13h). So why can't we select Passé composè?

Merci!

' never going to bed angry' should be surely present tense as they are still doing it? 

I do not understand why in the above sentence écrit (pp of écrire?) has an 'extra' e. I understand this only applies to être verbs + avoir if object preceeds verb?
