Why is j’ai de la farine correct when je n’ai plus de farine is also correct? Ie why is de la farine correct in the first sentence (per my last quiz?)
in the example "Je suis assis entre Léa et Tim" why did we say je suis assis and not je m'assois ? are they both right or do they mean different things ? thank you in advance !
"Le français est parlé couramment par ________ 200 millions de personnes dans le monde."
French language is spoken by more than 200 million people around the world.
I put "plus que" since that felt like "more than" but the correct answer is "plus de." I'm struggling to understand this since it doesn't fit the same structure as the lesson examples (e.g. French is spoken by more people than Italian).
Thanks for any clarification!
Why not finalement instead of enfin, pour finir, ou pour terminer ?
Which is NOT correct?
Ce qu'il dit est difficile à comprendre
Ce que nous faisons est presque impossible
Ce qui est arrivé est incroyable
Ce qui elle demande n'est pas raisonnable -- Correct Answer
I don't understand why this is incorrect.
I'm confused. Doesn't ..ing in English denote the present participle? In French that would suggest "leaving" would be expressed as "partant", "talking" as "parlant" etc; not the use of the infinitive.
Please explain why in this exercise the present subjunctive is used rather than the perfect subjunctive in the sentence 'Il a fallu qu'elle reste suspendue dans les airs plusieurs heures avant que les secours ne réussissent à la secourir.'
Bon jour, j'habite à Chicago. Mon parents habitent à NYC.
Où habitez-vous?
Où habitez des girafe?
Où habitent Mark Carney? Il habite à Toronto ou à Ottawa?
Bon soir,

Bonjour!
Can we reframe this sentence as "Je ne connais pas personne en dehors de mon petit cercle d'amis."?
Merci
The lesson above states:
Les enfants auront suivi le guide. -> Le guide aura été suivi par les enfants.
But this answer was marked incorrect:
Write "Laura will be followed by her friends." : Laura ________ ses amies.(HINT: Use "suivre")sera suivie par
aura été suivi par (wrong)
Aren't they the exact same construction? So why use sera here? The passive voice has been the hardest aspect for me to understand since it seems so arbitrary. Help!
