Answers to the quiz on L'aéroportI just took the same test twice about "A l'aéroport". The first time I you said I had 7 correct, 1 near-miss and 5 wrong. I do not believe any were wrong. I then took it again.
This time I went through the vocabulary provided by Lawless for L'aéroport. My marks for the second time were 9 correct, one near miss, one unanswered and two incorrect. Absurd! The apparent unanswered one I had answered and correctly. It was the first question. Why on earth your system ignored my correct answer I have no idea but it is very frustrating.
The two apparent wrong answers were not wrong. I used the vocabulary you provided. One said that my use of "bagages enregistré" was wrong and I should have used "bagages en soute"! I used "bagages en soute" in the first quiz and had it marked incorrect!
What on earth is going on?
How can anyone have any confidence in how you mark these quizzes?
I look forward to hearing from you.

The correct version of this dictation indicates that evenement has an accent aigu over the first "e" and an accent grave over the second. The dictionary I refer to (Merriam-Webster's French-English and English-French) spells it with two accents aigus. I checked it again in another bilingual dictionary (by J.O.Kettridge, Officier d'Academie F.S.A.A., ETC) and it also showed the word with both accents being aigu. Would you clarify this for me (I would hate to spend the rest of what remains of my life spelling evenement improperly. Thank you. (I should also point out that in the final text you provided, both of the accents are aigu.
Bonjour Madame !
I have carefully read the green box which states that when y pronoun comes after ER verbs in tu form in L’Impératif , then the dropped-out s is recovered.
But for the verbs like ouvrir, couvrir , offrir , découvrir which though are “IR” verbs but are conjugated like “ER” verbs , will this case persist for them also ?
If so please provide a few examples to illustrate the same.
Bonne journée !
This exercise is far far too long - I get distracted and bored and then I start over another day and the same thing happens. It is now my third week of it and I have not passed Point 1.
It needs to be broken up into different lessons! It makes me very annoyed and it is off putting to continue...
I don’t think the English translation is quite right for this sentence - to draw the maps of these two rooms. In architecture we would say “to produce the plans of these to rooms”.
A map is something you use when you’re out hiking.
Le Musée de l’Orangerie is a magical place to visit.
Bonjour Kwiziq Experts !
A rule from the lesson states-
Adverbial pronouns en/y are placed after moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur and moi/toi become m' and t’
Can it be elaborated by using the following- en/ y are placed after moi/toi/lui/l’/nous/vous/leur/les.
Accompagne-l’y ! -> Accompany him there ! (Here, l’ is a direct object which is better as compared to lui)
Conduis-les-y ! -> Drive them there ! (Here too, les is a direct object used instead of leur)
Just curious to know whether direct object too satisfy this rule or only indirect object pronouns could be used before en/y .
Merci encore !
Could one also say "ou bien jouer, ou bien manger" ?
Okay, don't laugh, but why would chercher take a direct object pronoun? For example, why is it "il les cherche" and not "il leur cherche".
Merci !
I was wondering why "en" is not accepted in my answer using the phrase "etre au courant"? You have "of it" in the English hint.
....sans que Neve en soit au courant

Chris' comment below about modal verbs (All modal verbs, like pouvoir or devoir require the infinitive, no matter which tense or mode they are in.) was an eye-opener for me as to how pouvoir and devoir fit in the big picture. Perhaps a short paragraph about modal verbs in general would be useful to others. Thanks!
