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 !
My questions are about the sentence, "Et puis, une mère n'est pas uniquement celle qui t'a donné la vie.": Why is 'te' used here instead of 's'a', 'l'a' or some other construction, since it seems to be some kind of generalisation? And also, if 't'a' is used and the speaker is talking to another woman, why doesn't 'donné' agree in 'donnée'?
Hello, could one use incontestable instead of imparable? Thanks
Je suppose qu'on peut dire "Elle est froid(e)" pour signifier "Elle n'est pas chaleureuse"? Ai-je raison? Si oui, est-ce que l'adjectif accord avec le sujet dans ce cas?
How can "Ils partent leur travail à 17 h" be wrong and only "Ils quittent leur travail à 17 h" be right? I don't see a specific rule as this type of question was used for both parter and quitter.
"Moins le quart" is hardly perceptible.
Sorry, it’s late and I’m trying to get my head around the sentence structure: does it mean - "The cows, whose babies the farmers feed, rest etc?"
Is it unusual for "dont" to refer to the distant object of the subordinate clause like this? (Apologies if this is a spoiler for the micro kwiz just above!)
Most of the lessons on this site help with grammatical understanding, however this is the first lesson I’m struggling to understand. I’ve found some comments useful after being overly frustrated with getting the quizzes wrong, but I feel this article needs an update for further clarity.
Very, very difficult to distinguish which answer in English is actually correct. Could not be more subtle which makes it very difficult to select the correct answer
I struggle with when to use the imparfait. Why in the quizlet question "In 2004 I had money" was the correct answer "j'avais" rather than j'ai eu? It seems like this is a completed action in the past, not on-going? I get so confused...help!
