écouter

hello,

i know the verb écouter takes a direct object and in the example above (Je n'écoute jamais le prof) it's rather obvious. in another lesson however, there's an example like (tu n'écoutes jamais Alice).. my question is: how can i tell the meaning of the sentence, i mean when i read the example i thought someone is saying to Alice that she never listens, not the actual meaning of someone is saying to another that he\she never listens to Alice!

Getting starsI just finished an A1 French test; had 5 correct & 1 nearly and received three stars. Then i took an A2 test; had 9 correct & received zero stars. It should have been the other way around?! Merci Charles

How is the question "What does ''noyau'' mean?" relevant to the lesson? And where is the answer to be found in the lesson? It was one of the questions in the micro-quiz.

question of proper tenseFor translating: When she wins the race, she'll be happy, I used aura gagné because it happens first. But the correct answer was Quand elle gagnera. I figured they were trying to trick me with the "When she wins". Wouldn't it be correct to use the future perfect?

"J'ai peur de ..." also means "regret" and "unwillingness" (as in English)

I'm afraid I have to leave -> J'ai peur de devoir partir

I'm not afraid of work -> Je n'ai pas peur du travail

(All the examples at present are only the "Filled with fear; frightened" meaning of afraid, which is misleading.)

Elle va au marche

"Elle va au marche" i always thought that if there is a vowel right after like va and au that we abbreviate?

valoir & falloir irregular in the subjonctif?

Hi, I don't believe you have conjugation lessons for the verbs valoir and falloir, which are irregular in the subjonctif. Have I missed them, or would it be possible for you to add them? How many other verbs are irregular in the subjonctif?

thanks, Scott

How do you use « ne.. pas assez de » when talking about a specific thing?

for example,

« I didn’t eat enough of the cake » - meaning a specific cake, rather than general cake. In this case, is it allowed to say

« Je n’ai mangé pas assez du gateau »
