Hi AurelieI am a bit confused. Is it correct to say "je n'ai pas de chien mais deux?" I read about the exception when "etre" is used however I'm confused because when we say they don't have a dog, but two I see that "une" chien is being used.

Library questions and leaderboardThe library exercises with questions at the end allow me to gain points on the leaderboard.(until unable for two weeks) The dashboard with exercises no longer has questions at the end.(therefore no points on leaderboard) The Notebook exercises also have no questions at the end -again- no points on the leaderboard until 2 weeks go by I really think that you need to rethink this in order to allow students to access more questions, please realise that many people (myself included ) thrive on competition and enjoy competition.YOU HAVE TAKEN THIS AWAY.

Etendre dire In the writing challenge "C1 Writers Block", I was wondering why, after les gens in the second line, the infinitive 'dire' is used and not a conjugated verb. Is it because of the indirect reporting expression "Entendre Dire.

This week's A2 writing challengeThis week's A2 writing challenge asked us to translate "I don't feel my legs anymore." The answer given was: "Je ne sens plus mes jambes." I was so proud to remember NOT to use the possessive pronoun in such cases and translated the sentence as: "...les jambes." Why am I wrong???? Thanks, -- Chris.

Tu m’accompagnais à l'école tous les matinsIn the quiz I was marked wrong for selecting "You were accompanying me to school every mornming" for the translation of this sentence. It wanted "You used to accompany me to school every morning". Yet in another lesson (Avoir l'habitude de = To be in the habit of, to tend to (French Expressions with avoir)%252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dhabitude) you associate "used to" with "avoir d'habitude". To me (and Google Translate) that makes "You used to accompany me to school every morning" an inappropriate translation here. The other one, although less common than the obvious" You accompanied me to school every morning" seems the more appropriate choice.
