French language Q&A Forum

Hello,

I got these words wrong and they weren't offered as alternative answers. Can you explain why? 

FUN FAIR: foire vs fête foraine 

RIDE: attraction vs manège

Thank you!

Could I also say 'en 1778, il est parti de la Corse pour aller étudier en France' ?

Merci de m'aider en avance !

Within the overall subject of this weeks exercises - celebrating the women of France - should this not continue the theme and be "les jeunes sportives".

I am still trying to figure out when to use "de" vs du or de la. In the sentence "qui a servi de résidence papal....." Why is it not "de la" as this seems to be a very specific thing and not a general category.

Thanks in advance

Cutting marks for the conjugation marks seems un peu de trop !

How can I re-take the placement test? My computer glitched the first time, & I submitted the test by accident, so I am actually at a much higher level than what they are suggesting. Help!
