ne explicative mistake & mood mistake by meI am bring this up because I am desperately trying to find a site where I can check my written French. One I recently discovered https://bonpatron.com/ seemed promising at first.
In a quiz question here on the lesson topic above, multiple choice, my answer was marked wrong:
#1 Nous sommes entrés sans que vous ne nous entendez. (wrong, and I now see why)
The correct answer was:
#2 Nous sommes entrés sans que vous nous entendiez.
I can understand why my answer is wrong, based on the lesson.
I checked out all four sentences at Bon Patron including the last two
#3 Nous sommes entrés sans vous nous entendre.
#4 Nous sommes entrés sans vous nous entendiez.
For all four sentences, I was given a grammar score of 100% on Bon Patron.
So I am thinking that Bon Patron is not at all helpful, unless there is some really obscure reason that the three wrong answers here might be acceptable under some obscure circumstance, which I doubt.
Writing in French (to express my own thoughts) is a real challenge for me. At some point I have to go beyond set quizzes (and in no way is this meant as a criticism of Kwiziq) and use what I've learned here, so, for example, I can write correct French to French friend in France.
Anyone have any helpful ideas for me?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, if you do !
Pourquoi "Moi aussi j'aime les salades" Elle référence des salades en générale non? Pas les salades spécifique?

Wow! She talks fast and mumbles. Reminds me of my teenagers. I guess all around the world people are not really interested in being clearly understood. Perfect practice for when I encounter strangers talking to me while looking at their shoes or smart phone.
Lol

When "on" means "nous," the past participle agrees in gender and number with the subject "nous."
Therefore, the correct answer here would be "allés," right? I don't understand why the quiz answers say that the answer is "allé.

Bonjour! I am perplexed, in the following sentence "On se disait pas le temps, pas envie, pas longtemps" Is "se" functioning as a direct or indirect object? I am thinking direct "We told ourselves"...?
I was taught (in both English-taught French classes and by French-speaking people) that the use of 'on' for 'we' was very colloquial and borderline bad grammar. I was baffled by the construction of the sentence using 'we' in English. I'm annoyed to be classified as 'lower intermediate' when I am considerably more advanced than that, even if I'm out of practice. I need to practice, but won't get much if I'm getting questions at this level and being challenged only by a confusing usage.
Hello! Why is timid spelled timide in this case? Wouldn’t timide be feminine agreement and not masculine - referring to Tom?
