Moi Aussi !I agree with Carl. This was a challenging exercise. (I find the written exercises more difficult then the Dictees in general.)
My question: Why "Mes essuie-glaces arriere" and not "arrieres" ? Shouldn't arriere be plural?
Also: I wrote: "la pile de mon portable etait aussi vide", which I believe is an acceptable alternate translation. I am familiar with the use of "pile" for flashlight batteries or electric appliances, and the use of "etre vide" for a battery being dead.
I have never heard the expression, "le bas-cote". I wrote, "la cote de la route".
Thoughts anyone?
P.S. According to my husband, (who is a car buff) "a beater" is very common expression here in the U.S. As in, "my car is a real beater", ie. "my car is really beat up".
In the first three example 'je' is followed by a word starting with a vowel. Why doesn't 'je' change to j'?
eg Puis-je avoir le pain, s'il vous plaît? --> Puis-j'avoir le pain?

Hi could you please explain the pronunciation of Marcher
1. The 'e' at the end of Matcher is clearly pronounced. I had understood that the final e of a word was not pronounced ... could you please clarify.
2. It sounds as if the 'ch' in marcher is pronounced exactly as an English 'ch' though I'd understood that a French 'h' is not pronounced. If the 'h' is not pronounced then 'c' should, according to the pronunciation rules, be pronounced as [s] or [k] depending on circumstances ... but this is not so.
Please advise Thank you
Salut tout le monde,
Toutes ces questions concernant les nationalités sont ambiguës. Une femme peut dire toue les deux:
Je suis française ou Je suis Française. Ça dépend du contexte. Française est un nom et sa nationalité. « française » est un adjectif et elle décrit qu’elle est de la
what is the difference between these two?
