Too picky with marking correct answersJust took the Kwiz on my lesson plan and the question was to fill in the blank for this sentence:
"__________________ hier quand je lui ai marche sur le pied."("I hurt Olive yesterday when I stepped on her foot.")
Here was my answer, which was marked wrong:
"J'ai fait mal à Olivier hier quand je lui ai marche sur le pied."
My mistake? It wasn't at all the grammar. I simply typed Olivier instead Olive, probably because subconsciously Olivier seems like a French name to me, whereas Olive doesn't.
Now, although I understand this lesson completely and thoroughly, I will be marked down and have to do several more tests just to get back to where I was instead getting the extra percentage points that I should have gotten.
May I suggest that a simple typo with a name - which is completely irrelevant to the lesson - should be marked as "almost correct" and the answer be given the total points.
Why does noisette not become plural in this case? I can´t figure this out. I don´t see a double adjective with colors. I also don´t see hazel as a thing like an orange. Maybe that´s what I´m missing.? Is it actually a hazelnut or something? Can you explain this one to me? Thanks so much!
Hello, today while watching the news I picked up the sentence:
on a isolé les murs au cas où nous devions rester longtemps.
I wonder why "devrait" is not used in this case.
And can we use e.g. /dans le cas où + sentence/ instead of /au cas où + sentence/ ?
Merci.
Bonjour,
When would it be appropriate to use 'à tout à l'heure' instead of 'À très bientôt'?
Merci!

Bonjour! Can someone help me with this sentence - in particular the word "en." I am a little confused about why "en" is used along with "un épisode." I probably would have written J'en regarderai un ce soir to mean I will watch one tonight. Merci pour votre aide !
