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 !
The tense chosen for pouvoir in this case is the conditional, which to me translates as "would you tell..." and not as "could you tell..." I get this wrong a lot and I am aware of the lesson but still err in regard to translating could. Help!
Why "comment s'est passé ton séjour en Alsace en famille " And NOT "comment est-ce que ton séjour en Alsace en famille s'est passé"
Please explain
It would be useful to have a quiz in order to practise all the places and buildings in a town. This would help us to consolidate what is actually quite a long list, but very useful vocabulary when one is visiting France.
In: “And if you need help, I will be happy to help you.” = “Et s'il te faut de l'aide, je serai heureuse de t'aider” I’m hearing “serai ‘z’ heureuse” as if the text were in fact “serais heureuse”. Are my ears deceiving me?
I'm wondering why there is no accord between température and record in the title above

I don't understand why "Pour être riche, il faut avoir beaucoup d'argent" is wrong? Any ideas, please.
Bonjour,
Above in the explanation, it is mentioned that l'imparfait has no clear beginning or end. But when I attempted the Fill-in-the-blanks Mon jour férié (Passé Composé vs Imparfait), there was a sentence - J’étais encore en pyjama vers 13h, (which is given as the correct answer). Whereas I had written, " J'ai encore été en pyjama vers 13h, and this answer was given as incorrect. But I don't understand, the end time is given here, (vers 13h). So why can't we select Passé composè?
Merci!
Which tense would lendemain be , as it can be used in both imparfait,future anterieur
