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.”
I have been given that words ending in "ion" were female with the exception of "Bastion". Is this another exception ? Should it be Sa opinion or sa opinion, or is it that the word begins with a vowel ?
Is there a complete list of words like: des bals([dancing] balls),
des carnavals,
des festivals,
des récitals,..?
I can't find it on your site.
Thanks in advance, Jaap.
I understood that the french for ' an app' was 'une appli' but this wasn't given as an option. Am I incorrect?
not sure why it is not imaginée since it is a lady talking. (reflexive verb, compound tense)

If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?
Why do we place the adjective before the noun in some sentences, and after the noun in some sentences?
