I would like to add words to a list and then be quizzed on the spelling. So the app would say the one word and then check my spelling. How do I do that?
I put douée - is there any reason why talentueuse was the preferred translation of 'talented'?
How is it possible to know thr exact punctuation in dictations when none is given? Why is it not just the French which is corrected? What a wind up.
I love Hugo's brother!
My understanding is that some french proper names that start with H use H aspiré, so this should/could be:
J'adore le frère de Hugo
Does the possessive "de" override the H aspiré rule?
Here are some others that I believe use "H aspiré": Henri, Hubert, Héctor, Harry
Can you please clarify?
Thanks
(I found the following: https://www.lemonde.fr/archives/article/1952/04/02/l-uvre-d-hugo-ou-de-hugo_2010600_1819218.html?srsltid=AfmBOoorvYyZtNOVy6E7pXjCbZdxiKAqXFtYERcRhzDdtDDBoViC6mjJ. Looks like H aspire is a bit old fashioned)
It would be a closer translation I think to say "goes with" in English. As English uses "to go" in the exact same way as french. E.g., "that shirt goes with my sister", is a closer translation than "that shirt suits my sister". In my opinion, as it maintains the "to go with" lineage in its meaning.
Nous détestons marcher- noy used -er for verb form, why?

When do you begin a sentence with où versus vous (or tu)? What’s the point of it being written both ways? Is one more common than the other?
When in conversation or writing, how do I know what object should use feminine or masculine? This is one thing I have never been able to understand it wrap my head around is what makes something feminine or masculine with things that have no gender in English such as fruit or colours
Sometimes it is okay to use pas and other times it is not. I am confused. I have answered both ways and get it wrong.
