Hope you have a nice day
I still don't understand that when you will  you change the   first é of the verb or the second é becomes è , because when i read your examples i saw: préfère, répèter ,celébrate ,élève,.... Thank you

In the sentence 'when France won the World Cup ' I used remporté instead of 'gagné' but it remporté wasn't given as an option. Is there a subtle difference in their respective meanings?

I've a feeling I've been here before in another dictée ! I thought that it was the number (singular)[of vowels] that was present. I can't get my head round why "présentes" agrees with "de voyelles". If "de voyelles" weren't there, it would read, "..le nombre présent au tirage." "The number" is still something singular, however many things it might be encompassing, surely ?  

What am I missing here?

Hello,

I was wondering, for this question:

why the answer is vieil and not vieux, like from the list on adjectives that go before nouns?

Why can't we say "N'importe que se passe" to say "Whatever happens"

Pourquoi pas "une cocarde bleue  et rouge"...... ?

A2 question « The family are totally unbearable.

La famille est

Les familles sont

La famille sont

Les familles est

The question is incorrect in English,hence it prompts an incorrect answer in French. I suggest that the English version be written correctly (singular) so that the student is not misled.

According to Wordreference, they recommend the word, ombrelle, for the umbrellas found in cocktails.  Should this word be accepted?

Greetings of the day!
