I used "nous cueillions des coquillages..." and it was marked wrong. Since, 'cueillir' means 'to pick; to gather; to collect', (just as 'ramasser') would it not be equally correct in this case? Is there a significant difference between the two verbs?
Thank you for your help.
Bonne journee !
Since you can't end the sentence with à qui (etc), how would you express something like this? "Yes, that's the one I was thinking of" / "That's the one I was thinking about"
Do you basically have to make it more like "Yes, that's the one of which I was thinking"? Having trouble figuring out how to express it in French.
Would someone be able to explain the need for the ne in that sentence? Or link to the lesson that explains it? I'm stumped.
(it was translated as "Mathilde put the car away before it rained.")
Hi,
I am still confused as to why 'égal' is marked incorrect .. Can you explain when in your examples of the two sentences, deux plus deux égale/égal are used.
This is somewhat related to this exercise but not completely, but it made me wonder how to express this statement.
Would it be: je suis content de pouvoir s'asseoir à côté de toi ?

I used "a vécu par" for "lived through". Is this incorrect?
The English translation “I love the strawberries that Mum picked up.” suggests that Mum went to the store to buy them, or somewhere else to collect them. If the meaning was that she picked them off the plant, then the sentence should be “I love the strawberries that Mum picked.”
