I am going to be fitted with hearing aids today. It is interesting that i heard surclassement as surplacement (which isn't even apparently a word). Surclassement - upgrade - is a new word to me today! Yay.  I guess this level is still very easy for me. Also, I am on a Macbook Air, which means for whatever reason that I am getting both YOUR popup menu for accents, and the one that is inherent in the Mac. That's why the first part of this exercise, the accent came out wrong. I guess I need to slow down and review what I've typed, even when I think I typed it correctly.  But I would like to know if I can supress your popup accent menu.

Thanks.

Thank you

this dictée made me smile.  It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :)

Hi Kwiziq

When trying to answer the waterpolo query, my study notes indicated most of the time “jouer à” was used for team sports; plus if a ball is used, also “jouer à”.

I therefore used jouer, and it was marked wrong and I was supposed to use “faire de”.  

Any comments on how you can help us to remember/learn this topic?  

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi, i've noticed in some sentences like 'Demain, on doit se lever tôt' they use Lever instead of Leve, when should i be using Lever.

Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?

what's the difference between "emménager" and "déménager"?

On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.

Thank you!
