Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est bon.

This was asked 4 years ago and never answered.
"This apple is good. Yes, it is good." is the stated English translation.
Had the English translation been "Yes, THEY are good", then "c'est bon" may be correct.
But, as stated, since IT is specific and refers to THIS APPLE, the French should be "Oui, elle est bonne."

Are there sentences where you can use both nouvelle and neuve?

In an example: Ma mère m'a acheté une robe ________.

Can't you use either nouvelle or neuve?

A1 exercise ?????

I think it is very discouraging and disappointing for those who click on the first reading or listening exercise of A1 level, and then they see this passage.

Bad hint?In today's A2 writing exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/160?utm_source=blk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=msg_448551You give the hint: Use "faire la connaissance de" = to get acquainted with. But it is counted wrong. I wrote "et ses griffes ont deja fait la connaissance de notre canape. And "la" and "de" are crossed out and "de" replaced with "avec". -- Either the hint is wrong, our the correction is wrong. N'est-ce pas?

Tu te la racontes?

Bonjour à tous!

Voici ma question: Que veut dire "tu te la racontes?"

Je sais que c'est une expression sarcastique...peut-être l'équivalent à "tu rêves" ou "tu veux rire?"

Pourriez-vous m'aider à la comprendre?

Merci en avance!

Jen

A bit of a tangent - I thought in a sentence like "J'ai rendu visite à mon ami dimanche dernier," you would say "LE dimanche dernier?"

How to say I almost missed my exam?

If "J'ai failli rater mon examen" means I almost failed my exam, how would one say I almost missed my exam? Seems like there is some ambiguities in the word rater in this context. Thanks.
