In one quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "five thirty AM" I wrote "cinq heures trente" assuming the 24 hour clock. This was apparently wrong because apparently we were talking about a 12 hour clock.
In the very next quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "ten minutes to seven AM" so I wrote "sept heures moins dix du matin" which was also wrong because we were now apparently talking about the 24 hour clock (not apparently for any other reason).
Would it be possible to tell us whether we were talking about 12 or 24 hours on the clock?
My natural presumption is for 24 unless otherwise specified.
I was asked in a C1 test to complete the sentence, " Après....., ils se sont perdus". After leaving, they got lost.
I wrote, "Après avoir quitté, ils se sont perdus". It was marked incorrect. Why?
Q-) Choisissez la bonne réponse:
"Nous téléphonons à ami de Nathalie."
Ou
"Nous téléphonons à l'ami de Nathalie."
From the above two sentences, which one is correct...also please provide me with the appropriate reason for the correct answer.
"What are we going to make his eyes and nose with?" Martine then asked. This was translated: "Avec quoi va-t-on faire ses yeux et son nez?" a alors demandé Martine.
I used: "Qu'est-ce qu'on va utiliser pour lui faire ses yeux et son nez?" Martine a ensuite demandé.
Would that also be acceptable?
Is this phrase not a 'Past conditional " structure?
I have just been "levelled up" after reaching 75% at the previous level. Will Kwizbot now only give me new level topics to work on, or will he/she/it also continue to give me work to improve my 75% towards 100%?
