Improving the vocabulary section

Hi,

The word game is not really very helpful to revise the words. Can you add simple tests that evaluate from English to French and French to English? Always with the articles of course 😊.

Thanks

Passé composé question

Why is it "toutes les personnes qui nous ont aidés" and not "aidées?" Is it because of "nous" and not "les personnes?" Merci d'avance !

Unsure what "closer to" signifies in the lesson

The preposition malgré is closer to despite, whereas the expression en dépit de is closer to in spite of.

I found this sentence a bit confusing as the pairs of words are described as interchangeable (and certainly are in English, apart from despite being a bit more formal) - does that "closer to" just mean that one of the pair is a single word and the other a prepositional phrase?

Pronunciation of the words in the song.

I love how she can roll the r three or more times on the word "cruel"! J'aime comment elle peut rouler le r trois ou plus temps avec the mot "cruel". (Did I get this correct?) ;)

Passe simple (je n'arrive pas a mettre des accents dans ce forum)

Je veux etudier des sujets autres que le passe simple, mais le programme me donne 9 questions du passe simple sur 10 dans chaque test, meme si j'active le test a partir des lecons sur d'autres sujets. Comment sortir de cet engrenage?

encore vs de nouveau (= once more, again)

Hi everyone,

I would be interested to hear if encore could have been used instead of "de nouveau" in this text:

tout est net de nouveau ! (referring to eyesight: everything is clear again).

If anyone has any opinion as to why "de nouveau" is a better choice than encore in this context, or any other , I would be interested.

I have a suspicion that "de nouveau" means "once more" and "encore" means "again".

Am I correct ?

thanks

Paul

When to use falloir or devoir

How do I know which one to use? If I want to say “he needs to go grocery shopping” (for example), are “il doit faire ses courses” and “il faut faire ses courses” equivalent or is there some nuance that doesn’t come through in English?
