English sentence - one of Guadeloupe's most beautiful beaches with its postcard white sand and coconut trees.
Kwiziq answer - l'une des plus belles plages de Guadeloupe avec son sable blanc et ses cocotiers de carte postale.
Why is ‘de carte postale’ used with cocoiters (coconut trees) and not sable (sand)? The English sentence uses postcard white sand, not post card coconut trees
Is this also the correct way of framing inversion questions with Object Pronouns??? -
1. L’Aimes-tu? / L'aimez-vous? [Do you like him/her?]
2. Lui parles-tu souvent? / Lui parlez-vous souvent? [Do you speak to him/her often?]
3. Les avez-vous vus? / Les avez-vous vues? [Have you seen them?]
Is the above way more formal, than the intonation method used in this lesson?
I am confused about when I can use duquel ,delaquelle etc instead of dont
Au cours des années, elle m'a transmis sa passion - why is passé composé used? She clearly says 'over the years' so a repeated action? surely the imparfait would be used here?
You could add the English name for a male pig, which is a ''boar''.
The phrase in English was "I will introduce her to Amelie" (sorry I don't have accents). The translation given is je lui presenterai Amelie which I take to mean "I will introduce Amelie to her". Should it not be "je la presenterai a Amelie"?
When I look up "failli" in Google translate, it has "bankrupt." Yet the words "failli sursauter" translate as "almost startled" (comme "presque sursauter).
So it kind of means "You failed to be startled"? (Failli faire, mais no?) Wow... that's a stretch.
Is the meaning of "presque" (almost) slightly different then?
I was marked only partially correct in answering the question: Another way of saying "Vous vous souvenez des îles Cyclades" is "Vous ________ îles Cyclades"
I answered “Vous vous rappelez des îles Cyclades” and was informed that Vous vous rappeles des was another possibility.
Why do you not receive full credit if an answer is correct regardless of other options in this case?
In conjugation tables, I have not seen this ending with vous. Could you please address this issue?
Thank you.
