"...nous ne sommes pas des surfeurs expérimentés." Why not 'de' instead of 'des' ?
If ‘le répondeur’ is linked to the landline, it would be known as an answering machine (in the UK)
How would you say Marc didn't watch it? What is the order of the object pronouns in passé composé when the sentence is negative?
Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.
Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.
Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?
Merci très beaucoup.
Judging by the comments below and my own experience of this lesson i think it could still be tweaked to improve it. It think it would be helpful to:
* add - write out - relevant (new to some) vocabulary for decimals, commas and currencies
* emphasise how the rules for writing numbers in French are the same (or different) when used for currencies vs other contexts
* provide and describe a few more complex examples, including the outliers (eg uncommon use of a decimal point in French), with at least one example of a French number which translates to three or more decimal points in English. The latter would be very useful because it highlights how our Eng/French translation brain can get confused (evident in these discussions) because it looks identical to the English version of numbers in the thousands.
While translating I came accross this sentence " L'homme n'attend plus ses opinions, sa conscience, son bonheur que de l'ordre d'un autre" and I don't understand the meaning of the construction of " n'attendre plus.... que de l'ordre d'un autre".
