Can we say 'partout dans le monde' instead of 'le monde entier' to signify all over the world?
not the same thing as "Jack down the giant down" [unspecified if from a cupboard, shelf, or stairway"
Hi, not sure if it's been answered already but what about adjective placement with trés? it is not a long adverb but wouldn't une très jolie maison be grammatically correct?
Thanks!
I am enjoying these exercises. The length of the passages is just right for me. My understanding of spoken French is about level A2 ( after I have listened once or twice) though my reading level is B1/B2. however, the site takes some study to navigate For instance how to move from one dictation to the next is not clear.
Hello. please how do you identify a masculine or feminine noun?
On a recent writing challenge I encountered the following:
I've always admired their courage and their dedication.
Kwizbot's answer:
J'ai toujours admiré leur courage et leur dévouement.Your answer:
Je toujours admirais leur courage et leur dévouement.I'm not sure I understand why this is P.C. and not imparfait? The English sentence to me implies that he is still admiring, not that the act of admiring is over. I guess it could be interpreted in two ways? Thoughts anyone? Merci!

J'aimais l'ecouter. I am going to listen... to him.
Why isn't this lui ecouter?
Thanks
Word Reference gives architecte paysagiste as the translation for landscape gardener. Should it be accepted as well?
What is the word order when using inversion with a name and an interrogative?
HI there, long time fan, first time commenter.
I have no idea what 'that's it' is supposed to mean in this context? It isn't a phrase I would ever use unless used in the following scenarios:
"That's it! You've cracked the case." (When referring to a previous piece of information or clue or input).
"That's it. I've had enough."
"That's it. I've been looking for it everywhere" (here I would use 'that's the one' instead).
Could you please provide an alternative of what this is supposed to mean? As this translation feels awfully unnatural to me. Is this a specific phenomenon that can't really be translated or is situational? As I would never say "That's it. She finally got her results" in this way?
