I kept getting corrected for using a capital letter after the "-" at the start of a line of dialogue. But it was frustratingly inconsistent—later I would get corrected for not using one. And the final text is displayed with capital letters in all cases. What's going on/what's the rule?
Why "dans"? Isn't stadium a general place rather than a specific one? Like "in prison" = "en la prision"?
I see that the preferred translation for 'my thirst for reading' is 'ma soif de lecture' but I don't see how this relates to article use. She has a thirst for reading in general / the idea of reading. If she had 'an enthusiasm for reading' it would surely be 'un enthousiasme pour la lecture'. What am I missing?
Au cours des années, elle m'a transmis sa passion - why is passé composé used? She clearly says 'over the years' so a repeated action? surely the imparfait would be used here?
Can you share link to the lessons to explain the aies and eue. am in a bit of a muddle. not sure where to look.
Why is it the Canal du Midi and not the Canal de Midi, given that Midi describes the Canal and not the Midi is possessive of the Canal.
One line has an answer of “C'est l'un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”
and then also of “C'est un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”
But the audio is “c’est l’un”, not “c’est un”, so I guess the second answer shouldn’t appear as an option, even if it’s a grammatically correct alternative.
Not a big issue, but I thought I’d mention it.
Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”
Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?
