Avoir un examenIn the lesson "Passer un exam vs to pass an exam" it says
"To say that you passed an exam, you would use "réussir (à) un exam/ obtenir un exam / avoir un exam"
and give the example:
"Et l'exam que tu as passé le mois dernier? - Hélas, je ne l'ai pas eu / je ne l'ai pas réussi!
What about the exam you took last month? - Unfortunately, I didn't pass. (it)"
but in the writing challenge "My cousin plays the accordion" I was marked wrong for answering
"but she passed it"
with
"mais elle l'a réussi"
where it wanted
"mais elle l'a eu".
Why was that? Aren't both equally valid?
Expecially since, in the context, it was just one exam ("un examen"), not the entire degree course.
In (Australian) English we would say "I passed (or succeeded in) my final exam" but "I got (or obtained) my xxx degree".
It was just to say that i’ve never seen cotton buds marketed as “les cotons-tiges” in South West France, where I live, but as “les bâtonnets ouatés”
According to Wordreference - a secondary school teacher in France - collège ou lycée is enseignant/enseignante - a professeur is one that teaches at university as well. In this Writing Challenge you used professeur.
I chose 'you used to come to see me every week'.
it was marked incorrect and the correct answer was ' you used to come and see me every week'.
voir means to see and there is no 'et' in the sentence
Please explain why this is correct. I couldn't find an answer in my research.
thanks
