Non-abstract nouns in -eurThere is at least on expection--la fleur is feminine. Might be the only one but I think you should add it.

'Vouloir que' followed by a verb in the subjunctive which is not 'a desire for someone else to do something.'

In a French grammar book I have it gives an example of 'vouloir que' being followed by a verb in the subjunctive which does not 'express a desire for someone else to do something,' which according to the Kwiziq lesson it should do.

'Le réalisateur n'a pas voulu que son film sorte avant la rentrée.' (The director did not want his film to come out before September.)

Could you please advise.

Thank you.

Tests on the free package

Hello, how come I can't do any tests on the free package? Clicking on tests always leads me to the upgrade page. I thought we get 10 free tests/kwizzes per month. My paid subscription expired on 11 august and I havent used kwiziq since before that date. Thanks

Totally frustrated!!!

Why do suggest "tutor" and use "professeur".Another example in this exercise 'pianist" and then "artiste". Learning a new language is hard enough without all these "unhelpful" misdirections!

Cheers

How do you tell whether an object is masculine or feminine

As in, I know that 'un' in masculine, and 'une' is feminine, but how do you tell if an everyday object is masculine or feminine.

linked question with passé composé correct?“Les Souillard sont mariés depuis plus de vingt ans." means: The Souillards have been married for more than twenty yearshi there, I had tenabove q&a linked to this lesson, but is it a correct match? the lesson is about not using passé composé and this correct answer uses it (i think). any help would be appreciated as I don’t see the specific example in the lesson or anything matching it’s form, thanks!

C'est encore/toujours un problème pour moi

"Il devrait encore être sous garantie." "Il devrait toujours être sous garantie." This exercise uses "encore" exclusively here, but I was wondering if this was an example of a case where "encore" and "toujours" could be used interchangeably to mean "still"? It is a hard concept to grasp because of the other meanings of these 2 words, and one I just can't seem to get right. For example, could "Il devrait encore être sous garantie" have 2 possible meanings depending on context i.e. "It should (still or again) be under warranty", and could "Il devrait toujours être sous garantie" also have 2 possible meanings i.e. "It should (still or always) be under warranty" ?
