In the sentence which begins as "As for Grandad, he would slump into...", there are several acceptable choices for "slump into", including s'effondrer and s'affaler. I chose s'écrouler based on a definition in Wordreference. This was not accepted. Should it have been?
Pourquoi on utilise le subjonctive avec cette phrase:
Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées !
Mais pas avect celle-ci:
Ces chanteurs sont les pires que j'ai écoutés !
Je note l'explication qui suit:
Therefore, Le Mode Indicatif can only be used in such cases where the sentence refers to established true facts or statements.
Hi, the answer for “Commande en même temps” reads “Commande en même temps, ça ira plus vite !”, giving away the next section, which is “ça ira plus vite !”. Also, this feels more like a A1 than a B1.
I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".
Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
More of a comment than a question, but seeing my A0 through B1 levels decline from 100% to 99% today felt like a punch in the gut. I normally only have enough time per week to take tests maybe 2-3 days, so it's been a slow and steady climb for me. I tried to knock 'em out quickly, but of course I made some minor mistakes, and now I'm doing A1 tests instead of the B2 tests I would normally be doing right now. Rough way to start the week.
Why is fut used in the above, rather than était.To the best of my knowledge, we have not been introduced to the Historic?
elle entre ____. maison ils vont ____ cafe
Sorry for this very small quibble - the above sentence from the microquiz isn’t idiomatic English and I can’t think when I would say it. Who is making "the noise", "that noise" or even "a noise" are possible.
In the last section covering: Il manque [quelque chose] à [qulequ’un/quelque chose/] there are two sentences that do not make use of “à”. The last one, in particular, has me stumped: “Il va manquer une chaise pour ton oncle.” What rule is this following? The impersonal examples below don’t seem to explain it.
There seem to be too many concepts under a single heading that don’t appear to apply to them all.
