My question is about the English translation of 'gras' and 'grass.'In the question above, "Le bacon est gras mais la salade n'est pas grasse." is translated to: "Bacon is fat but salad is not fat." Wouldn't: "Bacon is fatty but salad is not fatty." be a more accurate translation? "Fat" is a noun or adjective describing size, whereas "fatty" describes something that is more caloric. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Typing accents on an ipadI've just switched to using an iPad but am finding that the "hold down the letter" thing in order to type accents, isn't working. Any ideas?

C'est une voiture d'occasion?- Non, elle ou c'est...Shouldn't the second sentence in this example read, Non, c'est neuf or Non, c'est nouveau, with a masculine adjective?

Telling the time in FrenchBonjour! If you use the 12 hour clock, instead of 24 hour, to say the time in French, do you always use "demie" for half past the hour, even if the time is after mid-day? For example, in the weekend writing challenge: Level A2: "This weekend, I became an aunty!", I got this line wrong: (below, is copied from the writing challenge page:) You wrote: vers dix heures trente du soir. Correct answers: vers vingt-deux heures trente. or vers dix heures et demie (du soir). I understood from kwiziq lessons, that if the time was after mid-day, then you wrote trente instead of demie, and if you used the 12 hour clock, you needed to state if the time was morning or evening (which I did). Please clarify? Cheryl

Use of 's'intéresser à'

Hi,

Could someone please help me to understand which is the appropriate way to use the verb 's'intéresser à' in the sentence 'The subject I am interested in is French'.

I have seen it used in two ways and am wondering which is correct or the most common.

1. La matière à laquelle je m'intéresse est le français.

2. La matière qui m'intéresse est le français.

Thank you :)
