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!

Combattre vs Bataille

Adding the passé simple to the picture is such a pain in the neck, really!!! Can I use un combattre in stead of une bataille to the final sentence of the story.

Penser with conditionnel

Hi,

I had a doubt regarding this statement :

Je pense que tu vendrais facilement ta maison.

Shouldn't statements with penser/croire etc only be followed by indicatif in the positive or subjonctif in the negative? In what cases can we use conditionnel? I would think this particular sentence should use vendre in the future tense. So:

Je pense que tu vendras facilement ta maison.

Please let me know.

Thanks and regards

Roopa

Not as niceIt's one of the quirks of English idiom that "less nice" and "more nice" are never used, so the question ''Tes amis sont moins sympas que les nôtres'' should be translated "Your friends are not as/so nice as ours", not "Your friends are less nice than ours".

Fuller example sentence.

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.

Question de Jour ou Journée

How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.
