Is it correct to use 'rentrer' instead of 'retourner' in the last but one sentence?

can we say 'de lundi à vendredi'? because it is only one week stay. I think there is no repeat 

The given translation of "It's green" is "C'est vert". But surely usually it would be "Il est vert" because normally "green" applies to a specific thing. If you were talking about a landscape perhaps it could be "C'est vert", but in any case "Il est vert" should not be marked as wrong, should it? If it should, then your advanced lesson on the difference needs clarification.

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

Is it correct to write:

Ainsi, ayant pris soin de satisfaire à l'exigence de .....

I cannot work this out from the Progress materials, which seem to focus mostly on en+..ant

Merci

I'm very familiar with the expression, "faire le menage". I chose to write "faire le nettoyage" to see if it would be accepted and it was marked wrong. The alternative phrase given was, "...mon marie et mois allons nettoyer..."

Larousse defines "nettoyer" as a transitive verb in which case doesn't "nettoyer" need a direct object? In that case, is "L'apres-midi mon mari et moi allons nettoyer et nos enfants vont ranger leurs chambres" correct?  Don't you need to say "...mon mari et moi allons nettoyer la maison..."?

In English, the verb, "to clean" is both transitive and intransitive which differs from the French.

Merci et Bonne Continuation

i want to know why " geler"in le futur simple is  "gèlera", rather than "gellera"

Salut, can any one make a sentence when “ on” means ONE? Merciiii beacoup 

I struggle with when to use the imparfait. Why in the quizlet question "In 2004 I had money" was the correct answer "j'avais" rather than j'ai eu? It seems like this is a completed action in the past, not on-going? I get so confused...help!
