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 !
I thought I’d sorted this out already but evidently not. I believe that the answer I gave in the heading is, according to the lecture notes, correct. Correction welcome. So why was it marked wrong and the correct answer given as “je suis avec cinq minutes d’avance”? I’m fine with this answer too but why was my answer marked as incorrect?
Hello,
I hear a rhotic r sound in majestueuse. Is this a regional difference in accent?
Thank you
For in countries/cities, I always thought it was either "à" (usually for cities, except for a small number of cases e.g. au Canada, au Japon), and "en" for countries.
E.g. J'habite à Melbourne.
J'habite en Australie.
However the above example says j'habite DANS le Yorkshire... how can you live INSIDE a place?
Regarding this sentence:
Marie, quelle idée fantastique tu as eue
Why does the past participle eue agree here? Is it the case of the subordinate clause with que?
Should the sentence be:
Marie, quelle idée fantastique QUE tu as eue
If I recall, the hint was to use the term, 'Ivory Coast', which tricked me up. I normally would use 'Côte d'Ivoire'. I opted to accept the hint, which was not accepted. I felt duped by the hint. Perhaps others fell into this same trap. Take a look at it.

I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?
Because "gens" is "people" - plural - I put "...les gens qui sortent constamment leurs portables de leurs poches". Is there anything in the pronuncation that I missed that showed it was definitely singular? Or is it a rule in french that you would always say "they took their phone from their pocket" unless they all owned several phones and were taking them out of more than one pocket each? Or...was my answer plausibly a correct hearing?
