French language Q&A Forum

Hi,  my kwizbot it is telling my that in this example,”Cette maison est bien. - Oui, elle est ________ l'autre.” 

the correct answe is “mieux.” Why? Doesn’t mieux modify a verb? Here were modifying a noun (maison), so it should be “meilleur” by all logic, so why is the correct answer “mieux”? 

Dans cette phrase vous avez utilisé le ne explétif sans qu'il y ait une négation dans la phrase précédente:  "Du coup, la loi de 1965 a permis aux femmes mariées d'ouvrir un compte bancaire sans que leur mari n'intervienne, les émancipant ainsi financièrement de leur conjoint."

Je croyais  qu'il fallait une négation avant "sans que" pour ajouter le ne explétif.

Could one also use « la facture «  as well as « la note »?

I have a notebook and I have added these two lessons.

Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)

Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)

I went through several rounds of Kwiziq tests and I only get tested on the basic rules, never on the "ATTENTION" or "EXCEPTION" subsections of these lessons.

I got a score of 100%, but it feels like The app should also offer me test on these other topics.

How can I get more tests for these exceptions?

Example of rules I have never been offered any tests

This rule does NOT apply to sentences using the verb être and other List of French "state verbs" - "verbes d'état", with which the indefinite article doesn't change:

OR

When you want to emphasise the meaning of ONE (un/une) - not just a/an - as in He doesn't have ONE car, but TWO, you will keep un/une in the negative sentence - here it doesn't mean no/any:

Peut-on dire aussi "piste"? Quelle est la différence entre les deux?

Bonjour!

What is the meaning of half-sister and half-brother in English ?

Thanks and regards

Can someone help me with laissez-vous enchanter?  What exactly does this mean in English?  Let yourself be enchanted?  It's easy to be enchanted?  Thank you.

All three sample sentences for this usage seem freighted with disappointed expectations! Is this the way it’s normally used or just a coincidence?

Cette chanson me rappelle le film 'Etre et avoir'.  Bien pour la rentree aussi.  Merci!

I didn't finish this exercise the first time round. I've come back to it - a long time later - but unfortunately it doesn't remind me which words/phrases to look up in advance, so had to guess all of them! Please could you do a reminder for when this happens?
