So many questionsAlthough this wasn't an advanced exercise, I found it somewhat challenging and learned some new phrases, (such as "casser votre tirelire; au fil des annees; and s'enticher de).
But, I have some questions:
Why not "a ete etabli..." for "a ete fondu..."?
"Beaucoup d'artistes mondialement connus sont restes..." for " De nombreux artistes de renommees mondiale ont sejourne..."?
"...Ernest Hemingway est devenu enchante par..." for "s'etait entiche de, etc...."?
"et le bar du Ritz porte maintenant son nom" for "et le bar du Ritz porte aujourd'hui son nom"? (which actually translates to "and the Ritz bar carries his name 'today'" or "is 'today' named after him").
And, for "the fairy-tale like hotel, why not, "un hotel qui ressemble a un conte de fees"?
Merci beaucoup pour votre reponse !
This lesson needs some real sentences to demonstrate how to use the expressions.
Example "Add a liter and a half of water" = Ajouter un LITRE et demi d’eau" but "Add a liter and a third of water" == "Ajouter un litre et UN tiers d'eau". Sentences along these lines. I apologize if there is another lesson showing this. If there is it should be linked. Note also I am confused by the inconsistency of online translators with the above examples..
Additional difficult sentences " One third of students had a passing grade" == "Un tiers des étudiants ont obtenu une note de passage" OR " Un tiers des étudiants A obtenu une note de passage"??? I have seen both.
Pour moi, question 8, on the 8th February 2023, Nous ne voyons personne» means : ....I put 'we never see anyone' which you have said is incorrect. In english We don't (do not) see anyone, can also mean 'we are particular who we see'. Is this the same in french for Nous ne voyons personne, if so why is it not clarified?

Why not aller à pied instead of marcher? The problem contrast one means of transport with another. I missed the bus so I had to walk--aller à pied.
Why is it 'Elle me rappelle Paula' rather than 'elle rappelle Paula à moi' ?
This discussion has me confused- it seems contradictory. The question was L'année ______ Napoléon a été sacré empereur. I knew that 'où' would be correct, but from comments in the thread it stated that 'pendant laquelle' would also be correct. So I tried that but it was marked wrong. I'm also confused as to whether 'dans laquelle' would be ok. There are comments in the thread that imply it is ok, but others that it "doesn't sound right". Can someone clarify? Thanks
Hi when I create a notebook I'm asked if I want it to be made public or not. Where can I find these public notebooks?
Thanks, Jeramy
Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip. Why the imparfait here? It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive. It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.
Would there be anything wrong with saying 'Nous n'avons pas du tout été déçus' ?
