French language Q&A Forum

why are you using mon devoir for homework.   I thought it should always be mes devoirs

Mes filles sont bonnes en maths, mais ni l'une ni l'autre ne sont bonnes en français.

Why no pas after "ne sont"

EDIT: I read my wrong answer and the bots right answer the wrong way round. Sorry for doubting you kwiziq

Hi! Why are the dashboard and Brainmap not updating after the system upgrade yesterday?

Je trouve très dificille l'utilisation du peut et peux. Il y a un truc?

Hello,

I was confused a couple of times because in the United States, they still use commas to represent spaces in thousands: 19,956.
In Canada, we write, 19 956.   Do your lessons take this into consideration?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand the usage of a été and était in some cases.

For example, in this exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/1414
one of the sentences is "Ce matin j'ai été assez paresseuse". Why is "j'ai été" used here instead of "j'étais"? Doesn't "ce matin" automatically imply duration (as in she was being lazy the whole morning or during some part of the morning)?

But in this exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/1414
one of the sentences is "Maman était très heureuse". Why is it "était" instead of "a été"?

I smell good(I took a shower)-je sens bon or I smell well( my nose is working properly)-je sens bien. Are either of this correct?
