Can one say " je trouve que c'est difficile à croire" vs "J'ai du mal à croire?" or is the latter the only way to say I find it difficult to believe.

Ancien meaning before and after the noun

Bonjour / Bonsoir.

Ancien is one of those adjectives that changes meaning whether before or after the noun - former when before and ancient when after. However I came across the sentence in a French magazine - "l'un des plus anciens sites du pays", which obviously means one of the most ancient sites in the country. Presumably the inclusion of the 'plus' shifts the 'anciens' to in front of the noun and it retains its meaning of ancient. So "l'un des sites plus anciens du pays" would be wrong ?

My revision in English

Hello,

I was wondering if I can post my translation of the reading exercise of Cher journal for my answers here to see how I did or is there a page where it shows it correctly of the translation?


Thanks for your help

Passive - English confusion!!

I am totallyconfused by some of your English translations for the Passive

eg

How are you differentiating in English between Passé Composé and the Imparfait?  Eg "Ils ont été accuellis par le xxx and "ils etaient accueillis par le xxx". You translate the second sentence in the tests as "They were welcomed by " but then how would you translate the first sentence??  When you ask fir a translation of "The boy was welcomed by" you can't mark it wrong if one gives answer in passé composé as opposed to "imparfait"?

Que + Verb Cluster

In the sentence, "C'est également dans ce village qu'aurait été baptisé Jésus," it appears that que + aurait été becomes qu'aurait été. However in the lessons offered at Kwiziq, I don't remember seeing this construction taught. It makes more sense that it would be qu'il + aurait été, or qui + aurait été. 

If I'm incorrect, then what am I missing here??
