I needed to Google ‘Roland Garros’ to find out that it was the name of what I’m sure most of us know as The French Open. I thought it must be a player so answered accordingly. Thank you for accepting my answer even though it was incorrect!
Hello all,
I'm just in communication with support at the moment and I'm starting to think I dreamt up something. A while ago does anyone remember there being a listening practice history whenever you entered a listening lesson that you have already done. You used to get the date you did it plus the score you gave yourself. Anyone remember?
Many thanks
Martin
PS. Else I think I'm going mad!
I was definitely listening to this exercise in French but the answers were shown in English with various options provided. That's not how this usually works, unless I've been drinking too much eggnog...
Pourquoi est-ce qu'il ny a pas un "s" au fin de "Kit-Kat" dans la phrase "Alors, deux McFlurry Kit-Kat...."?
The lesson re the above clearly states that “If it/ he/ she is followed by a determinant you will use c’est.” Why then, after taking Lucie’s temperature does the doctor say, “ Elle est un peu élevée” and when taking her blood pressure, “Elle est un peu basse”? I can understand why he would say “Elle est élevée” or “Elle est basse” but surely the given answer contradicts the rule.
If I recall, the English is "We'll spend Saturday in the old town..." The translation for Saturday is la journée instead of samedi. Why is samedi not accepted? It seems like an oversight.
A multiple choice question I got gave me the options of (1) “La porte fait un mètre de large.”, (2) “La porte a un mètre de large.”, (3) “La porte est un mètre de largeur.”, (4) “La porte est large d'un mètre.”. According to the dictionary I use, you can use avoir, too, and it gives the example of “Ce meuble a 45 cm de large.”; however, the quizz insists only (1) and (4) are correct. Who’s right?
It’d be nice to have an example of what to do with the past participle of être verbs when using "on" when it means "we". I can’t find this covered in either of the modules On : we.
