Hi all I used ( tandis que ) instead of pendant que, in the first line. and it marked it as an erreur. any explanation for that please?.thanks.
Hi,
Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself 59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?
Where is the Eu coming from please?
In the exercise:
“the one which ran along the stream up to her favourite clearing.”
translates to:
“celui qui longeait le ruisseau jusqu'à sa petite clairière favorite.”
Is the use of ‘petite’ in order to indicate affection for the clearing, thereby emphasising that it is a ‘favourite’ place? I’m wondering how to interpret it, as the English doesn’t contain the adjective ‘little’ or ‘small’.
Like chris w I find this one difficult every time it comes round, due to the English translations given -
1. the English "certain" can carry either of the two meanings described here
2. "particular" also has several meanings, but it’s usually specific and not at all vague. Perhaps some more examples would help?
For this exercise, A Thanksgiving gift, I have searched for turkey, and according to Google, there is dinde, the feminine for turkey and dindon, for masculine. I know in English they don't have genders. My question is, should we put the correct gender in French?
Thank you!
Hi, in “The best answer is: donc ce devrait être un séjour très intéressant.” “You could also say: donc ça devrait être un séjour très intéressant”. I believe the audio says “ça”, and that this sound is not compatible with the word “ce”. Maybe only the “you could also say” answer should be listed?
sorry if this is a stupid question but why isn't visiter written in the infinitive form after a conjugated verb (rendre)
Why we have "Je donne de l'argent" and not "Je donne l'argent"
Hi. There used to be a button to repeat the exercise once you'd finished it? At this level it's really useful to be able to do that.
