French language Q&A Forum

Recently I got the question "C'est une ________ maison avec un beau jardin." which translates to:  This is a beautiful house with a beautiful garden. However, if this is truly translated it is C'est une belle maison avec un beau jardin. Please fix

Video blocked for me too. I'm in the Charente.

Here it is 

‚c‘est M.Dupont qui était responsable…‘

Is this an expression that always uses the present tense followed by the imperfect? Could you use imperfect and imperfect in this example ……c‘était M. Dupont qui était…..

Thank you 

Whilst not specific to this lesson - there are lot of references in these lessons to language choices that are "more elegant" than another.  Is this just another way of saying "more formal", or do the French have a specific desire or appreciation for elegant language?  In English we would never describe our language choices as one way being more elegant than another.  I'm just curious!

I had to complete the sentence "Nous ___ notre dernier concert" (We remember our last concert).

I filled in "nous souvenont de". It was however marked as incorrect, and the correct answer was "nous rappelons de".

I thought you could use both and my answer was regarded "better" (according to the lesson: "Se souvenir de is the slightly more sophisticated option to say you remember.")
