Some alternate translations and learned new vocabularyThis exercise was a good learning experience.
Would "... dans un tel chic restaurant ?" work as well ?
Also, I wrote: "Il se revele que son pere est le gerant de ce restaurant." rather than, "il s'avere que..."
According to Collins, "ll s'est revele que..." = "It turned out that...";
and, "s'averer" = "to prove to be"
"Ce veloute de champignons semble divin." Is using, "semble" in place of "a l'air" equally acceptable?
New Vocabulary:
How did I not know that "un tourte" is for a vegetable pie, (une tarte for a fruit pie)? But, there it is! And, now I know. Merci !
Couldn't find "pithviers" anywhere so assume it is another word for "un tourtre"
"perdrix" and "perveau" "Un pithiviers de perdreau" sounds like it is right out of a nursery rhyme!
Je vous remercie pour cet exercice, et maintenant j'ai l'eau a la bouche !
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!
My immediate instinct was to use "Attention ! Le mélange ne devrait pas trop chaud," but it was marked incorrect. In this particular context, is there a hard reason why it is better to use "Le mélange ne doit pas être trop chaud" instead?
Why wasn't on se voit used for "see you this week-end ?"

should be he/she/one has fun then we/people have fun
It would be she has fun or he has fun one has fun.. why is that not shown. Also seems so insane not to use of the verb to have avoir ??? alas just what is.
I found these lessons on Youtube and hope they will be helpful in the interim Here are the links(unsure they will work): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-n8uQAYY8k

for "mardi prochain"? the quiz asks about mardi prochain. I fully understand using the present for near future. got it. But "next Tuesday" is not so "near" that the future tense should be wrong! at least both options should be right.
Can someone please clarify why the tenses jump from imperfect to present in the final sentence? Thanks!
