Been looking at this for a long time. Conclusion is if you want to write a sentence using a/the/my , Or making a general opinion then use c'est. Otherwise use I'll/Elle est to make a specific opinion towards something/someone if there is no a/the/my in the sentence?
I noted in another quiz that famous people (at Cannes) were either "célèbré" or "connu". Would "fameuse" not work for them? Thanks!
I don't know if I'm missing something but the quiz said that you could acceptably translate "I need to go to the toilet" as "J'ai envie d'aller etc..."
Surely that's wrong - wouldn't you only use that form of words if you were expressing a desire to go to the toilet, but not a need? (Admittedly, I can't think of a circumstance where you'd say 'I really feel like a visit to the toilet right now ..!')
I'm curious to know why it's not "J'ai besoin DU temps pour réfléchir" in this sentence? What happens to the definite article "le" for temps?
