How did you use this word as a sentence because I am very lost on it.
Qu’est ce que différence pour utiliser en ou y
if "vieux" is being qualified by an adverb "extrêmement. so "un extrêmement vieux parchemin" is correct. why is it marked as incorrect
I’m posting here because fill-in-the-blanks Kwizzes don’t have Q&A.
The last answer is: Dans ce cas, je vais appeler Bruno avant qu'il réserve le restaurant, et je n'ai plus qu'à espérer qu'il ait du temps plus tard !
I’m wondering why the "avoir" in "espérer qu’il ait du temps" is subjunctive, as espérer is usually followed by an indicative. Is it triggered by "je n’ai plus qu’à"? Or because it’s only possible that he’ll have time?
(Also, the Kwiz is headed Subjonctif présent and passé but all the answers are present tense)

Why "ce sont devenues" rather than "ces sont devenues" in the last sentence?
Bonjour à tous,
In this text, I was thinking this should have been dûe (avec un accent circonflexe) , is this something that was given a reformed spelling ?
e.g. dûe à l'agilité de
Merci , Paul.
This correction confuses me, because in the English phrase the past tense is used (I wasn't OK with it). Is this an error or can you explain why my answer was wrong?Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je ne serais pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je ne sois pas d'accord.
Two small points: the sentence above was given as the correct translation of "I’m going to go to bed early" - doesn’t "se coucher" mean "to go to bed, and thus "je vais me coucher" is "I’m going to go to bed"? Also, for translating "our children are going to tidy their rooms", the hint was "Literally "their room", in French we consider they have one each" but leur chambre was marked incorrect and leurs chambres given as the right answer.
Just wanted to add, it’s really great that you can now opt out of self scoring!
Ugh! "J'ai trois chats, dont (ainsi que) deux chats siamois". I know that this lesson was gearing towards DONT but would not ainsi que work as well?
Can après-midi be either masculine or feminine in this expression? I was not marked wrong when I used "bon".
