I don't understand what the difference between durant and pendant are. The lesson puts them together and doesn't say if there is a difference.
I am reading "Le Petit Prince" and noticed that sometimes, passé composé is used in the description (NOT the dialogue) instead of passé simple. In simple sentences like "J'ai ainsi vécu seul" and "J'ai vu un petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire".
There are instances where you can (or *have to*???) use passé composé in literature? I can't find any pattern so can someone explain this to me?
I answered that this word was not feminine, even tho it ends in -e, and was marked incorrect. A subsequent lesson noted that romantisme is an exception and is masculine. Please clarify, thank you
In 1969, we went to conquer the moon. I wrote on est allés but was marked wrong for not using parti when another lesson used on est allés for “we went” so I’m confused and the lesson is about agreement with on. Doesn’t explain why parti is right and allés is wrong. Also, I don’t get email notifications so don’t see any answers to questions unless I happen to run across it elsewhere. Help! Thanks.
