(Edited) To include or omit certain partitive articles and prepositionsRegarding this exercise: (https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/1966 "A French Lunch Menu")
My answers "saumon avec riz et brocoli", and "poulet avec frites et petits pois" were marked as correct, when the final text gave "saumon avec DU riz et DES brocolis" and "poulet avec DES frites et DES petits pois", as the translations, respectively. My question is, on a french menu, is it more common to keep the second/third/fourth, etc. partitive articles in a dish name, or to drop them?
(Part of my confusion was that my responses were marked as correct, (with no alternate answers given), however the translation given at the end of the exercise differed from my own, as noted above).
Thanks in advance!
Halo friends,
I find French very interesting and wish to immerse myself deeply in the language. Any suggestions of the links I could use to get access to french tv shows,news and many others? Thank you.
Why is the imparfait used here and not the passé composé ? The author only wrote this once.
Salut! Thank you for this wonderful platform for studying French! I have one issue to share: I am an A0/A1 learner. One of the quiz questions "Who is speaking?" was asked regarding this sentence: "Je suis acteur." My reponse was "Both of them." However, when reviewing the corrections, it stated that my answer was "Michael" and the correct answer was "Both of them." I tripled checked and I did input the correct anwer each time. I just wanted you to be aware.
Thanks, again!
I don't understand, why is it "allez" with a z at the end but "êtes" with an s? Isn't it the same form?
Moi j'ai dit "une petite gorge irritée" comme j'ai vu sur WordReference, mais ce n'était pas correcte. Est-ce que c'est trop familier pour cette situation? Merci d'avance!
This is about translating "no one had salted the road". Here you mean the "roadway", also called "the pavement" in British English, which I translated as "la chaussée" instead of what was given, "la route".

Hi Kwiziq, please consider not breaking up full sentences. It makes it harder to figure out what's being said because we would have forgotten the context/previous phrase in the sentence/statement. Thank you.

Would we not always say "un" fois deux. i am not sure why the example uses the feminine article "une". I understand une fois would translate more directly to "once" instead of one times (...). or is it that Une is agreeing with fois a fem noun?
The example that brought me here was J'ai déjà travaillé dans un restaurant. The lesson says that the adverb is placed after the past participle, but the correction places it before the past participle
