French language Q&A Forum

I don’t understand how to know whether this refers to a person (WHOM do you miss) or to a thing (WHAT are you missing).

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.

There should have been included in the vocabulary list additional words including

the Halloween characters. These are words that are not part of daily speech.

Why were my answers marked as wrong? Surely Six millions de dollars & Six milliards de dollars are correct.

Cette sculpture est la plus belle ...

Please could you explain why 'que vous ayez jamais vue' is not accepted, when the English states 'this sculpture is the most beautiful you have ever seen'. There is no Hint to say whether the 'you' should be 'to a friend' and the only French answer accepted is 'que tu aies jamais vue'. Merci!

Just querying why it's leurs and not leur here. In a previous dictée I was told that it would only be leurs plural if each of the parties had several of the thing being talked about. Well surely, they each only posessed one "look" which crossed with the other's one "look", so why not "leur"?

"I will pass through Paris." Is one of the below incorrect? Why?

- Je passerai par Paris.

- Je passerai à travers Paris.

It appears that you have altered the sensitivity of the-- Next lesson box, in all exercices

A click used to operate from anywhere in the box - now only in the bottom area..

Would it be possible to make the whole box sensitive to a mouse click.

Thank you for help'

What is the negative form of nous(manger)?

Hello,

I'd like to know why the C1 quizzes focus so extensively on the Passé Simple. The tense is never used in speaking, (except perhaps in a stilted academic discourse), and is encountered primarily when reading. 

For example, on a recent C1 quiz, seven of the ten questions were on the Passé Simple. I'd rather have my quizzes focus more on idiomatic expressions. Instead, the passé simple questions come up over and over again, even when I score a perfect "10" on a given quiz.

Thanks,

Greg
