I'm still in the "initial enthusiasm" stage, where I try to take maximum advantage of the initial surge, before gradually levelling off to a normal rate.
On today's dashboard, I notice that there are five recommended lessons relating to countries, cities, and so on.
I'm striving to think of a reason why it would be great to know, for example, "la Cornouailles". I suppose if I were in France, and someone asked me if I came from "la Cornouailles", I could say "Oui", or possibly "Non".
I've worked in five countries having five different language. (That's why I now speak and write very short sentences. Sorry about that.) I don't recall ever needing to know the name of a different country, or a town in a different country.
So, is it possible for me to simply postpone these lessons until later? Would that screw up my Dashboard? If I do the quizzes quickly by giving the first anwer that occurs to me, would that confuse the bot?
Thanks.
In comparing these three sentences, I notice that the verbs have similar translations (is/are getting or becoming):
Ses relations avec elle vont de mal en pis
Ma mémoire est de pire en pire
Les ordinateurs deviennent de mieux en mieux
Can these three verbs be used interchangeably with these expressions to mean is getting/going/becoming worse or better? Or is there a distinction to be made?
Thanks for your help!
In the lesson 'Pour que (so that, in order that) is always followed by Le Subjonctif ' it states that the subjunctive is used: When something happens so that / in order that someone else does something.
The translation given for 'so that shapes appear' is 'pour que des formes apparaissent'.
As there is no 'someone else' involved here, presumably apparaissent is not in the subjunctive?
In the passive the correct answer is given as 'une antilope sera chassée par un lion'.
As chasser is an -er verb that I guess takes avoir why isn't the answer 'une antilope aura chassé par un lion'?
