"Exceptions" and "Attention" Lesson sections not covered by Kwiziq testsI have a notebook and I have added these two lessons.
Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)
Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)
I went through several rounds of Kwiziq tests and I only get tested on the basic rules, never on the "ATTENTION" or "EXCEPTION" subsections of these lessons.
I got a score of 100%, but it feels like The app should also offer me test on these other topics.
How can I get more tests for these exceptions?
Example of rules I have never been offered any tests
This rule does NOT apply to sentences using the verb être and other List of French "state verbs" - "verbes d'état", with which the indefinite article doesn't change:
OR
When you want to emphasise the meaning of ONE (un/une) - not just a/an - as in He doesn't have ONE car, but TWO, you will keep un/une in the negative sentence - here it doesn't mean no/any:

Je pense que « les tubes » seraient meilleures que « les hits », non ?
Franchir vs croiser always confuses me. Please explain
The notes state that Martin aime Sarah can say ´Martin loves Sarah’ but my answer was marked wrong, saying it should have been ´Martin aime bien Sarah’
celles qui vous enrichissent et vous font chaud au cœur.
Do we not repeat the qui
celles qui vous enrichissent et *qui* vous font chaud au cœur
If I am trying to say Amongst all the sports, I like playing ______ the least or I don't like playing _____ the most, which one(s) of the following forms are correct? Is it a superlative with verbs or with nouns?
Je n'aime pas jouer au foot le plus.
J'aime jouer au foot le moins.
J'aime le moins jouer au foot.
Je n'aime pas le plus jouer au foot.
Where are we allowed to place 'du tout' in the negation? And where are we not allowed to do such? Are only having 'du tout' after 'pas' or at the end of the sentence the only correct options ?
- Je ne veux pas du tout travailler en tant qu'avocat(e)
- Je ne veux pas travailler en tant qu'avocat(e) du tout
- Je ne veux pas travailler du tout en tant qu'avocat(e)
- Je ne veux pas du tout être comme lui
- Je ne veux pas être comme lui du tout
- Je ne veux pas être du tout comme lui
- Je n'ai pas du tout apprécié ce qu'il a dit
- Je n'ai pas apprécié ce qu'il a dit du tout
- Je n'ai pas apprécié du tout ce qu'il a dit
I was wondering where we are supposed to place these constructions within sentences and clauses. Some translations show after the entire clause or sentence, some show after the verb.
- Nous les avons tous les deux vu(e)s
- Nous les avons vu(e)s tous les deux
- Lui et son frère sont venus tous les deux
A general lesson about saying 'both' to describe people and objects should be made.
Does the placement of 'Du tout' affect the overall meaning of the sentence? Could it be placed in different places to give the sentence different meanings? Are there any rules of where (before or after what) we are allowed to place 'du tout' ? How does the placement of 'du tout' change when there are prepositions within the sentence ?
I look in the examples, and see 'du tout' placed after adjectives and nouns, does that negate other parts of the sentence?
In the bottom half of the quick lesson it says:
"- the more elegant
Comment se fait-il que ... ?-> Note the use of inverted question form to emphasise the elegant structure."
Did you leave out 'cela' between 'Comment' and 'se fait-il'?
