As a paying customer of Kwiziq, I wish to be able to have a physical print out of the lessons I want to review. It's easier for me to read than from the computer screen.....
I'm not sure why is not an acceptable way to express struggle. From Le grand Robert:
II V. intr. (Fin XIe). Se donner de la peine, du mal*. ➙ Appliquer (s'), efforcer (s'), évertuer (s'), fatiguer (et se fatiguer), gémir (fig.), trimer (fam.) ;→ 1. Coût, cit. 27 ; élite, cit. 5. Peiner comme une bête (cit. 11) de somme, comme un forçat… Peiner jour (cit. 42) après jour. — Élève qui peine sur une composition (cit. 8) latine (au sens III, 2, de peine). Il peinait pour s'exprimer (→ Facilement, cit. 3). — Par ext. Respiration, souffle qui peine (→ Oxygène, cit. 3).© 2023 Dictionnaires Le Robert - Le Grand Robert de la langue française
Je peux dire ( Ferme le robiner ! )?
Merci beaucoup
I do not understand why in the above sentence écrit (pp of écrire?) has an 'extra' e. I understand this only applies to être verbs + avoir if object preceeds verb?

HI,
I am understanding the usage of the reflexive verbs as well as reciprocal but I had saw something about passive pronominals would that be something for A2 I had seen it somewhere and now I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

She seized his wrist is translated.."Elle lui saisait le poignet." Why is the "lui" there?
"Bonjour! Je m'appelle Trefia. Je suis une fille. J'habite à Malang, en Indonésie. Je travaille ici aussi. J'aime lire les livres et j'aime écoute de la musique. Enchanté." How was it? Merci beaucoup.
Is there any list of nouns before which indefinite articles don't change in negative form?
In regards to the last section about food, when do you use 'À/Aux' compared to when you should use 'De'?
As I know we use "en" to replace a noun that follows number/quantity such as un(e), deux, un peu de etc.. so in this case it means that I can use "en" to replace ANY noun including "idée, histoire, conseil, chance" etc but only with any indefinite article, right? And in examples like "je vais vous donner une idee" "il raconte une histoire à mon ami" these nouns can be also replaced with "en", right? or not? why? I passed several tests where these nouns were replaced with COD(le,la,les) and I really can't understand why.. can someone explain it to me, please?
