Hello!
In the lesson re:
“Use il/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things.”
Tu aimes mon pull? Oui, il est très beau.
My question: do you ever use il/elle est in the plural, ie., ils/elles sont, in these instances?
How would you answer: Tu aimes mes pulls?
Would it be: Oui, ils sont beaux. If not, can you explain why?
Thank you for your help!
turc --> turque (pas le "c")
grec --> grecque (avec le "c")
pourquoi ??
Au début, j'entends "Tous les quatre ans" au lieu de "Tous les ans".
I echo the comments below regarding this lesson lacking clarity.
The explanation of when it IS appropriate to use 'devoir' is missing and I find it easier to just memorise the correct answers rather than try to answer them using knowledge of the grammar rules.
Why "ses jambes" instead of "les jambes"?
My understanding was that you used definitive articles, not possesive
When speaking can you say "un euro virgule cinquante centimes" or is it always "un euro et cinquante centimes"?
Perhaps the lesson on "Writing decimal numbers in French" could be updated to cover this topic as well.
I am not sure why "chaque" or "tous les" are classified as "duration", when they should labelled as "frequency". To me, it seems to be a mistake.
In this lesson one of the questions was "Marie a manqué l'école ". I would have answered this with "Marie (has) missed school." Of course this answer wasn't available and the right answer was "Marie didn't go to school." Wouldn't this be easier to understand if written like " Marie n'est pas alleé à école ?" or are all similar events ( not going/doing somewhere/something) expressed by "Manquer de ?" Thanks, Heather.
