Lesson and test contradiction in usage of 'ne'?Hello,
This lesson, on 'san que (+ ne explétif) + the subjunctive mood', states that the use of the 'ne' is optional in modern spoken French. Additionally, it is omitted when the main verb is used with a negation. Unsurprisingly, the lesson teaches with examples using 'ne'.
Yet, in your test I was marked wrong for doing so. Specifically, the question was to complete a sentence, which I submitted as:
"Tu as fait tout ça sans que ne Neve soit au courant".
Yet the correct answer is shown without the 'ne'.
Have I misunderstood something here?
Thanks in advance,
D

Hello! Does anyone know a way to restart the brainmap? I had Kwiziq premium in 2020 and was able to nearly complete the brainmap for French but then I stopped. Now it's been five years. I repurchased premium but would prefer a blank slate since I have forgotten a lot. Does anyone know the answer?

I just heard someone in the show "Lupin" say what sounded like "merce" instead of "merci". Is "merce" an actual truncated form (like "ta" in English), or did the actor / character just trail off at the end of the word because she was distracted ? (It's the cop who's just taken Lupin into custody, & is transporting him by car, & she's talking with a petrol station attendant.)
Also, how common, & how slangy is "cimer" ?
Bonjour, si vous veuillez, expliquer svp pourquoi il n’y a pas le subjonctif dans la phrase : Avant tout, il est primordial que vous identifiez au préalable
Merci beaucoup
Why is the sentence in passé composé rather than in imparfait? The act of saving has to happen over a period of time. It is not a one-time action.
Jill ________ la colline pour retrouver Jacques.
The given answer is a monté la colline.
Firstly, no one climbs a hill. Perhaps a mountain but not a hill. One goes up a hill. Further, there is no indication she is taking anything up a hill. She is simply going up a hill by herself. This should use être, should it not?
I want a lesson in using the above topics. How do I find the lesson for a specific problem AND... can I make a lesson if there isn't one already?
Thanx timothy
It is very helpful to have a list of specific french words or phases that will feature in the following text. However, it would be even more helpful if these words and phases were also spoken in advance so that one can tune into them when they arise in the piece.
can we form a question using subjunctive like est-ce qu'il faut que je prenne ce cours?
