I would be grateful for a clarification of the following:
In a sentence such as: Frank writes fast but Olivier writes as fast as him. "Frank écrit vite mais Olivier écrit ________ lui": why do we use the adjectival "aussi vite que "instead of the adverb "autant vite que"?
Je lirai jusqu'à ce que je sois trop fatiguée. Why is fatiguee feminine. Do you know something about the reader that we don't, or am i missing something?
One of the questions lists "Où je mets mes chaussures d'habitude ?" as a correct answer. However, this does not appear to be one of the three ways of asking a question given in the lesson. According to the lesson, où must be followed by inversion (or est-ce que), so it would be "Où mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?" Why isn't inversion needed here?
Nothing in the lesson suggests "faire" is reflexive.
Ergo: Why is "je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales" correct, in lieu of "je fais faire de nouvelles sandales." ???
The quiz gives the answer : Ne touche pas le serpent!
I would be inclined to say : Ne touche pas au serpent!
Is this wrong?
When does one use 'non' and when does one use "pas" to mean not, for example, in the sentence " Not only do I hate walnuts, but I also hate peanuts".
