In the audio for "Quand partent-ils" I hear partetil, I thought it would sound more like par til

Merci

feelings at the time....why am I wrong?

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

A sentence provided reads- 

1.Les gens...........on a passé une semaine en France, avaient deux chats adorables.

The answer I gave was -> avec qui/avec lesquels.

However, the correct answer was -> chez qui/chez lesquels.

2.Le bâtiment.............tu avais garé ta voiture était juste à côté de la poste.

Here also, Madame , the correct option was devant lequel as opposed to dans lequel.(mentioned by me)

3.Connais-tu le médecin.............. il s’est fait soigner ?

In this case I am confused whether the right answer is chez lequel or par lequel ?

I request you to please provide a grammatical explanation why my options were not the accepted ones.

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !

Bonne journée !

In this lesson on “venir de “ , you use the following as example 8:

Je suis de La Rochelle
I'm from La Rochelle

Why is it “Je suis de” instead of  “Je viens  de”?

Way back in the dim, distant past when I first started learning French, I think I remember being told that to accept an offer, you say "s'il vous plaît" and to decline, you use 'merci". 

Eg.: Voulez-vous un verre de vin? Oui, s'il vous plaît./ Non, merci. 

I think we also learnt that if you simply replied "merci", it would be understood as declining the offer.

Is this correct?

Paul should have left earlier is given as 'Paul aurait du partir plus tot'.

I could have learnt to swim is given as 'J'aurais pu apprendre a nager'

These are exactly the same constructions, therefore they can not both be correct.

(Apologies for the absence of diacritic marks)

Why Couldn't we tell Dans l' Yorkshire ?  '' 'Y'is a semi vowel right ?

Bonjour Madame Aurélie !

Thanks for designing such a great worksheet on this topic. 

But could you please help me with these sentences -

1. L’endroit qui m’a enchanté au dessus de tout, .........

2. Nous nous sommes proménes dans ses jardins merveilleux .......

In the first sentence , I used ‘imparfait’ as I interpreted it as a state of mind which the narrator was in of being mesmerized . Secondly, I had used ‘imparfait’ in the second sentence after reading your lesson that ‘l’imparfait’ is used for describing the scene , characters , setting of the phrase. Please provide the reasons why Kwizbot marked me incorrect .

Bonne journée !

( I would appreciate to be answered by Madame Aurélie )

Hi! I don't quite understand the usage of à in the examples: Il le vend 3 € la livre; and Le pâté se vend à 1,25 € les 100 grammes. The verb is same, constraction is same. What's the difference? Can i use both? Thanks!
