I don't hear this being pronounces as préférerais BUT as préférais.
I have played it several times.
From what i gather "Un vieux parchemin" would be correct. Why is "Un extrêmement vieux parchemin" incorrect? Thank you.
I am still confused about whether should I use Des or Les
Je veux des bonbons
Je veux les bonbons
Why the second sentence wouldn't be correct?
Vingt-trois heures trente-cinq might be a clumsy way of expressing 'twenty five to midnight' but surely it is not incorrect?
Je veux simplement remercier Aurélie pour vos lessons superbes et commenter que ma mère, Marcelle Eudes a quitté Le Havre en 1936 pour étudier l'anglais à l'université de Southampton et elle aussi a resté en Angleterre (à part les années de la guerre où elle est retournée au Havre jusqu'à la fin du bombardement) pendent toute sa vie jusqu'à 93 ans. Elle aurait eu 100 ans cette année. C'était toujours vers maman que nous avons dirigé nos questions concernant la grammaire soit en français soit en anglais! Merci à vous brillantes enseignantes!

Julia is watching a Tom Cruise movie, there are four answers:-
1.It is very good - Il est très bon - agreed
2.He is very good - Il est très bon - Only if you are referring to Tom Cruise
3.She is very good - Elle est très bonne - Julia might not like Tom Cruise so she might be very good in watching it............
4.I can't remember the last answer offhand but it does have an instance where it COULD be correct.
The point is that other than answer 1 the other options are ALL options and may all be correct in certain circumstances. The ONLY certain answer to this particular question is the first one, all others are possible but are liable to return a partially correct result depending upon the way in which the question is viewed. I submit that it may NOT be the best question for this exercise.
The french was:
Il déteste l’histoire mais il adore les maths
The choice of answers were:
He hates the story but he loves maths
He hates history but he loves maths
I chose story, but I don't understand how to know which is correct.Thanks
Je trouve qu'elle est raison? If not ps explain.
