Aujourd'hui je récolte beaucoup de citrouilles de me jardins.  Presque trente en tout.  Nous avons eu un peu de gel mais demains j'espère récolter le reste du maïs doux pour les geler.  Je suis en accord.  J'adore l'automne!!

I'm confused as to why at the beginning of the exercise "Si je pouvais" is used, while at the end it's "Je pourrais". Would the conditional not be used in both cases as there's no guarantee of either action taking place, so both are hypothetical?

Is there a difference in usage between these three translations for "it took me an hour to do something":

"Il m'a fallu une heure pour faire qch"

"J'ai mis une heure pour faire qch"

"Ça m'a pris une heure pour faire qch"

Thank you in advance

Hi all.  Can someone advise me as to when one uses ça as 'it' rather than le, la, l' eg. je le déteste or je déteste ça?  I have just done an exercise where the latter was used for 'I hate it', I would have used 'le'.  I can understand it being used for I hate 'that' but here it was used for 'it'.  Thanks in advance/ merci en avance, Kevin

I dont understand Ca t'a plu and how this is formed?

The quiz asked me to find correctly placed adjectives and I thought colors are supposed to go after the noun? Unless there is a exception here i missed.

Am I missing the meaning altogether, or does not "lèche-vitrine" mean "window-shopping" - that is looking into shop windows and wishing you could buy what you see, without actually doing so?

Bonjour,

During this exercise I used different terms in this sentence:
