ClarityI think that your examples might be clearer if you divided them into three parts groups than two: 1.Supplemental Group Do you have /another/some other/ idea(s) (as well)? 2.Different Group I would like to try /a different/some other/ jumper(s) (in stead). 3.Desciptive He speaks about France and /about other/ countries.

About “ autre chose and quelque chose d’autre”

Bonjour Aurélie et Cécile,

I have 2 questions.

1/ As your explanation, we have 2 different ways to say about a same thing: something else.Thus , why is it just nearly correct when I say” ils ont besoin d’occuper leurs jours à autre chose.”The right answer in the test is” ils... à quelque chose d’autre.”

It is diffidult for me to unsderstand.

2/ How about to say “autre chose “ in plural? E.g.: I’d like to choose the other things?

Merci beaucoup,

Truc Thanh

Why is only one "Take test" button greenI started kwiziq on level A1. Meanwhile I am working on kevel B2. All levels from A0 to B1 show a green dot on the left. My scores in each of the levels are above 80%. Yet only the "Take Test" button corresponding to level A1 is green. Can you explain what that signifies and the condition when either a button or a dot turns from grey to green? Thanks, -- Chris. P.S.: I would like to filter only my questions or, even better, be able to subscribe to certain threads on the q&a page. Otherwise I can't find my questions and any answers posted to them. Otherwise great page!

Que

It would seem "Qu'ont fait les hommes" is an accepted sentence. According to the logic of this article, it should be "Que les hommes ont-ils fait." Can anyone explain this difference? Is one of these wrong? Is there some exception for "que?"

« D'aussi loin que je me souvienne... » Pourquoi au subjonctif ?

« que je me souvienne... »

Il est évident que le verbe est au subjonctif, mais pour quelle raison ? Je ne le comprends pas.

Quelqu'un peut m'aider ?

Let's avoid them an awkward situation

The subject text was part of a recent pronouns exercise.

As I understand it the use of the imperative voice was being tested and I wrote "évitons-les" which was incorrect and the correct answer was "évitons-leur" .

I don't understand this because the verb éviter is transitive not intransitive?

I would like to understand why the correct answer is not évitons-les?

Hello, I am trying to understand why the article is written in present tense but the translations are in the past tense? Thank you.
