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.”
When do you use leur and lui like which is it used for?
i want to know why " geler"in le futur simple is "gèlera", rather than "gellera"
Is it true that you use the présent de l'indicatif when you want to express a historical fact in French?
I remember a lesson (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/aller-lesson/) saying that "aller" always has to have a destination indicated. (Hence allons-y! rather than allons!, etc.) Is "avec toi" enough to satisfy that rule?
why is it: ils ont des dollars et des euro.
Why use des, not les as money is coutable?
Faise des achets
Thanks for the encouragement on the world environmental outlook as well as your encouragement of our sometimes snail like progress. I did this exercise 3 years ago and improved from 49 to 53. While I have made some meager progress, I feel the world, particularly with what just happened in the USA, is moving in the other direction. Nevertheless, I will continue the march toward toward fluency. What would help would be the ability to review your mistakes from past exercises. If there is a way to do this, I don't know how. In any case, thanks for your support and keep the challenges coming !
What is the difference between m’appelle and s’appelle? When is it appropriate to use each version?
