In a lot of the French sentences on Kwiziq, the stress sounds like it is on an odd part of the sentence and I can't figure out the pattern. For example, in "Tu te laves les mains?" above, the word laves is stressed in the recording. And the voice doesn't rise at the end like I would expect for a question. Is that how the question would really be spoken in French? Is there a section here that explains which parts of a sentence are normally stressed?
Why is the answer not: Georges cherche pour son neuf stylo?
There is no suggestion that the new pen has been used before. If it had, it would be (masc/sing) nouveau - the answer given as correct.
Can you please explain why the answer is nouveau.
i thought with body parts it was usually 'les' which should be used. In the suggestions during the exercise, there were options to use either. Does it depend on the verbe (trempe or plongé) ?
how does one say is it far or is london far from here or how do i get there?
Why is this sentence "Tu m'as bien aidé cette semaine-là." translated as last week and not that week? Merci!
I have not seen any examples or reference to using the phrase when the subject is/are thing/s rather than people. I may be missing something very basic here, but can the phrase be used with things, or only when the pronouns represent people? If it can be used, is it actually used?
Bonjour Cécile,
I have observed that while writing passé composé,two types of sentences are possible-
1.Où êtes-vous allé en vacances?
2.Où êtes-vous allés en vacances?
Why has the extra "s" been added in second sentence although both are congucated with "vous" form?
Pls guide with this rule.
Thanks in advance

Why is it that in some cases you use lui and in others you use elle?
