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”?
Why is it singular for "globe oculaire?" The English phrase would seem to be "in the shape of eye balls" since glaçons is plural. It would be a bit strange to write in English "eye ball shaped ice cream scoops." There are just too many qualifiers of scoops, IMHO.
Regarding the section "Case of 'à la maison' vs. 'chez moi' ": Would it be correct to use "à la maison" to refer to second and third person subjects when returning to their own homes, e.g. "Elle rentre à la maison" for "She is going back home", or "Tu rentres à la maison" for "You are going back home", etc.?
(The example given for "à la maison" used the first person (je) only and the next section describes subjects going to other people's homes, and not their own).
Merci en avance!
In this lesson the note about the conversational past states that in these cases, the en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.
Following this advice I put "Nous en nous sommes allés après le dessert.". This was flagged as incorrect, and "Nous nous en sommes allés après le dessert." as being correct.
This seems inconsistent with the note. I see there have been other questions about this topic. To me, "nous en nous sommes" flows off the tongue better than "nous nous en sommes".
is translated above as:
I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes
I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.
What are the positives and negatives of moving to the countryside in French
The sentence " Elle porte aussi des vêtements très originaux" - the word vêtements - sounds like jetements.
In the test, it says -Il termine dans 2 minutes. shouldnt it be ..en 2 minutes. i have learnt that when some action finishes within a particular time we use en.
