Grammatical errorThe english grammar in these lessons, is often so informal it sounds crass. French is a beautiful language, but so is English. So please do better and utilize their elegance and use what is appropriate because even in English "put" is not.
rentrer = to return/go back in general, but when it's used transitively (with a direct object, like la voiture), it means to bring something back inside.
So here, “Mathilde a rentré la voiture” literally means “Mathilde brought the car back in” (like into the garage or driveway).
Technically, “put the car back” isn't grammatically incorrect, but it sounds a bit off in real-world usage.
We don't usually “put” cars back like they're groceries or a coffee mug ☕️.
We say:
“She parked the car back in the garage.”
“She brought the car back.”
“She pulled the car in before Paul arrived.”
Instead of using the following expression: Chacun(e) d'entre + Stress pronoun, can I use the following:
Chacun(e) de + Stress Pronoun ? Isn't this correct?
Please reconsider level of execise. I would suggest rather it is a B2 level because it is considerably easier than the other C1 execises

I want to learn how to read french and speak fuently
Hi, is there anywhere to find lateral translations of French phrases, allong side the usual translations? For example, with lui and leur it would help me to have the 'to...' aswell as the usual English. Thanks.
Is there a lesson or could you please explain the difference between enfin, à la fin, au final, finalement, etc? Thanks.
Hi,
I thought we had to use de after negative sentences -
Elle n'aime pas les bonbons - is given as an example
Would it not be: Elle n'aime pas de bonbons?
Unsure why les has been used here
