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.
Vingt-trois heures trente-cinq might be a clumsy way of expressing 'twenty five to midnight' but surely it is not incorrect?
This feels like memorization is my only resort.
I agree that it might have been helpful to have "enfiler" included in the vocabulary list. However, even though I wasn't familiar with it, I could write it out listening and sounding it out. I then looked it up in the dictionary. It was fun to learn a new word this way, and actually I think I will be more likely to remember it than if it had been given to me ahead of time.
My question is simply why "croiser" was used instead of "se croiser" and when is it appropriate to use each form of this verb. Some examples would be useful.
Merci !
Why was "il ferait du soleil" marked as partially correct (as opposed to
"il ferait beau")?
