What’s the difference between “je suis en train d’écouter de la musique” and “ j’écoute de la musique” ?
My dictionary says that "postuler" is a transitive verb that takes a direct object, so shouldn't it be "postuler un poste"? But the Kwiziq translation says "postuler POUR un poste."
Also, what's the difference between filiale and succursale?
What is the difference between:
Qu'est-ce qui marche le mieux ?
and the Que from the interrogative lesson Questions: Que ... = What?, e.g. :
Que marche le mieux?
What's the best way to recognize what is the best solution to use? The first thing that jumps out to me is that Que marche le mieux might be incorrect b/c there is not really a subject, but I would appreciate a more formal explanation, thank you!
According to Wordreference - a secondary school teacher in France - collège ou lycée is enseignant/enseignante - a professeur is one that teaches at university as well. In this Writing Challenge you used professeur.
In a quiz I was asked to translate "My aunt drives as carefully as my uncle" and I responsed with "Ma tante conduit aussi prudemment que mon oncle". Why did Kwiziq mark this wrong and want "document"? Aren't both of these equally valid translations?
And this lesson does not even use the word doucement, which might have indicated that Kwiziq perferred that word.
Searching on the web provides thousands of instances of "conduire prudemment" with the meaning of carefully.
When you write:
In this case, tous is always pronounced [toos], to differentiate it from tout (everything)!
--do you mean in both of the following cases?
1. as pronouns to replace a pre-mentioned noun
2. as compliments to an existing plural subject
?
