In the 2 question quiz given at the end of the lesson a question asks "what does Qu'est-ce que c'est mean?" the literal translation is 'What is it that it is' which is given in the lesson.
It should be more clear on what the question is asking for, the meaning or the translation.
Hello! Is there a difference between "Vous voulez une glace?" and "Voulez-vous une glace?" I thought that questions had to be done with inversions. Thank you!
What is the difference in meaning between l'article partitif (du, des) and l'article contracte (du, des)?
The idicated translation is "dish." In English, a dish can either be a plate on which food is placed or it can mean an entree. I suspect that the meaning of "plat" is the physical plate on which food is served. Can you verify?
I am reading "Le Petit Prince" and noticed that sometimes, passé composé is used in the description (NOT the dialogue) instead of passé simple. In simple sentences like "J'ai ainsi vécu seul" and "J'ai vu un petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire".
There are instances where you can (or *have to*???) use passé composé in literature? I can't find any pattern so can someone explain this to me?
As I'm pretty sure they both mean favourite - does it matter on the context?
As "cousines" is plural, is there a reason for saying leur instead of leurs?
Perhaps I have misunderstood the rule.
