So, is there a nuance between 'buisson' and 'arbuste' ? I believe that both translate to bush or shrub. Shouldn't both be accepted since there is no other description?
I can follow that most of the text is in the (futur d'anticipation).
However, I am wondering why the text switched to using the infinitive (entendre), in the last sentence? and why not use the Gerondif -en entendant. like at the beginning of the fourth sentence.
When to use que vs quoi
Bonjour,
I am A2 level and would like to know what online resource I should use to reference words and phrases in french.
Merci

Biscuits is plural. Surely it should be:
I had eaten all the biscuits, and there were none left for the guests!
Thanks, Stephen
The clue on the 2nd last screen is ' it = general statement ' but there is no 'it' in the sentence being translated, just 'I find that topic really interesting.'
The clue is misleading given the answers suggested, not unexpectedly, use ' ce sujet ' or ' ce thème ' .
On the following screen "I am going to buy it straight away. " In this case 'it' refers to a specific novel, so 'general statement' is not correct either.
I don't think the clue is helpful or necessary on either screen.
Why does the text switch from imparfait to passé composé here:
Nous étions vraiment désolés. Nous nous sommes excusés
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?

Good morning. Is there a trick to hearing the accents over vowels, or do you just have to know where they are in every word? A lot of times I can distinguish the pronunciation of é vs. è, but sometimes I can't tell the difference between e and é, for example. In the text, there's the sentence "" where I can hear é in représentation and théâtrales, but the e in spectacles sounds the same as é in the other two words and doesn't have an accent. Is this something that just comes with a lot of practice? Or do you just sort of need to know the words in advance?
J'ai lu trois livres dont les tiens/ les vôtres. [I read 3 books including yours.]
Is this correct? Or should it be le tien? Masculine/plural form should be used because the noun is 'les livres'?
