I add my question to Walter's. Would you please explain the "d'à côté" construction. AND add it to the lesson on à côté de etc etc. I looked there but thus little subtlety is not mentioned. Merci!
Is there any other chance that I could take the level test again?
when tested on a multiple quiz the selections were 'Moi et toi avons compris la même chose.' or Toi et moi avons compris la même chose.' I chose Moi et toi and was incorrect.
When this command is negated, it becomes "Ne vous dépêchez pas ! (or ne te dépêche pas). I could not understand the rationale for this structure by reading the current lesson. I am guessing the reason may be because, nous, vous, and te are pronouns and so surrounded together with the verb by ne and negative word. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Like everyone else, I find this lesson very confusing, and I think it is because it's using a very poor example of when to use articles. I believe the translation is incorrect.
Je n'aime ni le fromage ni le lait.
I like neither cheese nor milk.
If this example is talking about specific cheese and specific milk, then the English translation should be, "I like neither the cheese nor the milk." But that is not what you have here. The translation you give is general, not specific. It really makes the whole lesson contradictory and confusing.
how about being from a state or country? Are they all « de » somehow I can’t find lessons talking about from somewhere other than cities. Is it:?
je viens de Californie
je viens de États-Unis.

« bien qu’on ne s’entend pas, c’est quand même mon frère ». this is not the right place to ask this question but the example is here!
what is the rule that says « c’est quand même » instead of « il est quand même » mon frère?
