Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible), "Cette écharpe lui va" would be a correct way to say "This scarf suits them" because it's not clear from the English sentence if "them" is plural (group of people) or singular (someone whose gender isn't known/specified), right? Or is that too much of Anglo interpretation?
The correct answer was listed as "Cette écharpe leur va".
Auparavant, Paul et Cecile connaissent la raison de l'utilisation du subjonctif. J'ai cherché la bibliothèque de Kwiziq en ce qui concerne le mot meilleur et le subjonctif mais je n'ai rien trouvé. Est-ce que vous pouvez en élaborer ?
When would you use this expression (s`en aller) instead of the verb partir? Je m`en vais or Je pars.
Looking back through the Quick Lesson and the accompanying discussion I still can’t tell the difference between “none arrived” and “no one arrived”. Aren’t they just two ways of saying the same thing? (Albeit, the second being my preference.)
Hello, I don't understand why "As tu vu le cousin d'Eve ?" was marked wrong. I don't see anything indicating the cousin was female.
I was doing the exercise (https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/judge/1833/14548249?response=4150265&page=7) to answer a question and now have one of my own:
There's the phrase: visiter les ruines du vieux château.
How come the rule that the definite article is omitted if there's an adjective intervening between de and the noun is not applicable here? I would have thought this should be ...de vieux château.
Is there a rule about using hyphens with 'et un' when added to thirty, etc.?
I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb
-Donne-moi les fleurs!
-Give me the flowers!
However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.
Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative
· Donnez-moi RIGHT
· Donne-moi WRONG
Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?
I used the subjunctive for the following:
La vue .... était la plus belle que j'aie jamais vue...... (subjective attitude?)
It may just be me but the lesson on Tout is a good example of what I find confusing about some (otherwise crisp and excellent) Kwiziq lessons: it’s not always clear what the green rule is referring to. Sometimes it comes before the examples, sometimes after (eg tout + adverb here). Sometimes it flips multiple times in the same lesson. It may be better to connect the red and green lines so they form a bracket around each formalism. I get that would require quit a lot of editing of existing lessons. Perhaps we could crowdsource that if you open the platform.
