Dernière fois queUn quizz demande traduire "C'était la dernière fois que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais." Il y a deux réponses: 1. ... last time you told me you loved me. 2. ... last time THAT you told me you loved me. To me, those 2 responses have the same meaning in English. The 'that' adds nothing, but neither is it incorrect. Specifically, neither answer disambiguates between "the last (most recent) time" and"the last (ever) time. The word 'that' in English is often just a filler and does not convey additional meaning. Je ne comprends bien encore.

Après-midi can be either masculine or feminine

As « après-midi » can be either masculine or feminine, both « cet après-midi » and « cette après-midi » should be considered as correct answers in this exercise, but are not.

The Académie-Française notes preference for use of the masculine, but still accepts both as correct. It would be reasonable to advise « cet après-midi » as the best choice, with « cette après-midi » as an acceptable alternative

Prepositions with islands

Hi,

I wondered whether islands take the feminine gender? For instance, how would one say:

in/to/ from Sri Lanka; and

in/to/from Ceylon

Thanks,

Yvette.

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?
