hi, 

I took the test and i understand that Switzerland is feminine but why is there a masculine pronoun ils at the beginning? ils detesent la suisse. Shouldn't it be elles not ils?

thanks

I spent a while trying to understand this sentence, as there are several examples given later on with "que" or "qu’" at the beginning, eg qu’est-ce ?", "que veut-il ?"and indeed those starting "qu’est-ce que". I reckoned it only applies to your first group of sentences where intonation, rather than inversion is used to ask the question - is that right?

The examples use avoir but the text says use etre - I am confused 

Why does the sentence "quatre jolies filles" have the adjective before the noun?

(I know this question is not related to the topic of this article, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent example in the relevant article.)

ce, cet,ces

cette,ces

is this correct?

I keep pressing submit answer when I really mean to press play again so end up submitting no answer but can’t go back to the previous stage or start the exercise again. It would be easier if the play button was at the bottom. I’m using an iPad.

Why is this in the past tense? I thought it was ongoing and background information, and so used imparfait (which was incorrect).  Thanks in advance.

Could "rosâtre" be used to translate "pinkish" in the phrase "une douce teinte rosée"?

Bonjour, je dois dire: "ç'est celui que j'aime plus" ou "ç'est ce que j'aime plus"? Merci a tous.

Hi, 

I was wondering for for using il or c'est in this sentence. Que penses-tu de mon canape? ____ est tres joli. Since it is a specific item mon canape I would use il est? I was going to use c'est tres cause when you have the verb etre your suppose to use c'est but, in this sentence to me it seems specific so I would use il est in this case. Am i correct?

this is a question in the kwiziq

Thanks

Nicole
