Hi, I use this app a lot (every day) for French grammar. I was doing the excersise and in a little bit confused on when to use a ‘!’ and ‘?’ in the phrase that’s being read to me. How do I know when to use them because if it’s a robot, they don’t talk with a high pitched voice when there's an exclamation mark and have a confused tone when there’s a question mark in the sentence. I’m sorry if this is confusing, I’m not the best writer, but if you hopefully understand what I’m trying to say, please kindly explain the answer to my question. Thank you
Why are the adjectives feminine when transport is masculine?
After submitting my response, no correction page appeared and I was simply presented with the next phrase or sentence. As a result, I scored zero for my response. You can't go backwards. This happened twice during the exercise. On the second occurrence, I was particularly paying attention to not hitting the submit button a second time as I know this can cause skipping. I could not figure out how to send this to your technical team instead of bothering you.
Si vous souhaitez envisager d'aller plus loin dans votre exploration de « l'univers artistique francophone » que ces personnalités populaires, peut-être souhaiteriez-vous fournir des informations sur les personnes suivantes: Aimé Césaire, Birago Diop, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Leon Gontran Damas, Mariama Bâ, Patrick Chamoiseau, Maryse Condé, Assia Djebar, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Ahmadou Kourouma, Camara Laye, Henri Lopes, Jacques Roumain, Kateb Yacine, Franz Fanon. Marie NDiaye, de père sénégalais, de mère et de lieu de naissance française, pourrait être un autre sujet méritant et digne.
Hi,
Can anyone explain why sometimes in these types of phrases plural is used 'nos vies' or sometimes it is expressed in the singular ' leur imagination'
Is it optional or is there a rule governing this?
Thanks
I got this exercise wrong on the qwiz, but I don't see any explanation in the A2 Stress Pronouns lesson on why you would use "elle" rather than "lui." Isn't "lui" supposed to be for either gender?
1________ devez prendre une décision. You and she need to make a decision.
Toi et lui was marked as incorrect, and Toi et elle was marked as the correct answer, but I don't understand why.
Hi Cécile , I wish to make a suggestion concerning the translation to English of two sentences in the examples and resources section. I suggest that you add THAT , to illustrate the difference in the usage of que between French and English ( in English we drop but not in French). So I suggest that the English translation for the French sentence il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal becomes; he doesn’t believe THAT we want to hurt him, and the second sentence to change is: je doute qu’ils veuillent venir becomes I doubt THAT they will come. A suggestion to highlight the difference. Especially that in the last sentence you have used that in the translation. Thank you.
