In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text. I can't remember exactly what they were but at the beginning it says "Pascal", like there were cues for the dialog that were being read as the dialog.
"Wait, I'm passing Paul onto you."
What does this sentence mean? I'm not a native english speaker but this sentence makes no sense.
Based on the french sentence, I deduce it has something to do with a phone conversation.
rejoindre is an infinitive. Shouldn't it be rejoignons or rejoindrons?
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?
'But at the moment I was putting it on' - how does that translate to 'mais au moment de l'enfiler' - where's the 'I' and why is it in present tense?
During the first sentence below, I find it super hard to pick up the 'eu' after déjà - is it actually there?!
- As-tu déjà eu l'occasion de séjourner à l'Hôtel du Palais à Biarritz ?
....since it' not implied "brand new"
There are a lot of interesting tense changes to consider in this exercise! But why do we hop back into the present tense here:
“until she gave birth to her daughter Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle accouche de sa fille Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle donne naissance à sa fille Claude”
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?
