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 !
Using the term non-verbal here is very confusing, as it seems like you are saying it should only be written and not spoken. Perhaps you could change it to read nominal sentences? A nominal sentence is one without an expressed verb. It would avoid the confusion.
Hi,
I am under the impression that when conjugating a verb in the passé composé, the past participle will agree in the following instances:
When using avoir with a preceding direct object and using être and s'être. However, I have recently seen instances of conjugations of être/s'être not having any agreement.
Could anyone please tell me why this is?
For example, why is the following sentence correct?
Les conférenciers s'étaient juré de nous renseigner sur l'histoire.
Le genre s'était enrichi grâce à Ray Bradbury et à plusieurs auteurs qui se sont succédé tels que Stephen King et J.G Ballard.
I would appreciate any responses,
Thanks!
Rebecca :)

I'm struggling to hear the difference between 'vais' and 'fais'.. is there's difference? the examples sound similar
The translation function does not seem to be working for this exercise.
Merci
