I tend to get tangled up with possessive "de" but wanted to query why the two capitalised nouns above take de l’ rather than d’? The dog is best friend of "Man" not "a man", and capitalising both nouns implies to me a generalisation or personification: despite that, they don’t seem to be treated as proper nouns in French.
For the question ""Je suis très vieux." The speaker is:" I have answered this as "male" but the bot is grading my answer as BOTH incorrect and unanswered. Could you advise which it is?
I was also thrown by this sentence because at first sight it contains the phrase "bien entendu". I guess the "bien" is qualifying "j’ai entendu parler", but does it mean something more than just "J'avais entendu parler de ce nouveau poste" ?
Your translation corrects "la salle de bain" to "bains" yet other translator translations seem to use either ???????
The first time I did this exercise, I wrote "Je vais etre beau et elegant !" Then, I changed it to: "Je vais avoir l'air beau et elegant !", which was marked wrong. Wouldn't the use of the phrase, "avoir l'air" also be correct in this situation?
Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation !
I don't think its necessary to keep rating myself , tbh I could give myself a smiley face but it makes no difference to learning french !
Even google nor Deepl could translate it correct, so I had no chance!
my friend sent me a message “bonjour mon kiki”. Can I ask what “mon kiki” means in this context
