French language Q&A Forum

I chose “voir” and came up with an error.  I’m also doing Duolingo and that says voir is the correct word when visiting someone, hasn’t even mentioned the word “rendre”. Confused here….

In the first sentence, "to go to work" is given as "pour aller travailler".  I put "pour aller au travail", which was not provided as an alternative.  I've seen the second approach used, so I'm wondering if it's considered wrong, or just not included in this exercise.

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.

On va voir le musee

On devrait prend le taxi

In one of the questions in my former test I shold translate ” your name is Thomas”. So I did ” tu t`apelles Thomas”, but got red mark on that, it should be ”tot`apelles Thomas”. I can´t see that alternative in the lesson about how to sat someones name. Would be good with an explanation on that one.

Hi, 

I thought we had to use de after negative sentences -

Elle n'aime pas les bonbons - is given as an example

Would it not be: Elle n'aime pas de bonbons? 

Unsure why les has been used here 

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 am struggling to see why you have suggested one can use i or y but when I use the y in the answer of the verb, it is wrong.
