Why is ce matin-là preferable to cette matinée and why is the latter not acceptable?  I thought that if you wanted emphasis on the morning, you would use matinée vice matin.  I realize that the là added to matin certainly adds the focus, but why is cette matinée not given as another possibility.   As you may have already surmised, I struggle with these masculine / feminine forms for morning, day, evening, year, etc. despite having reviewed the lesson.  Thanks for your guidance in advance.

Question today was "Un jour, on _____ sur Mars."  In a previous   test, "On a ______ opinion."  The previous answer was "On a notre opinion," but today's test was said to be "On ira sur Mars."  How is one to know if the "on" refers to a singular person (on ira) or to several individuals (On a notre opinion)?  It's a bit confusing.  Please clarify.  Thanks.

Bonjour

In the fill in the blanks exercise working futur proche 

1. je vais retrouver Julien et Sophie dans le centre-ville. 

Why is: je vais rencontrer incorrect?

2. When I read in English will be I wrote sera. I should have known better because what is being tested is futur proche and va etre should have been my response; but I would like to know if it could be considered correct, understandable, from a native speakers standpoint.

Merci

Bonjour les gars et experts 

Dans la frase suivant?  'ils se sont dit que',  pourquoi il n y a pas d'agreement entre  'être' et 'dire'?

Je pense que 'ils  se sont' est plural, donc 'dit' devrait s'écrire 'dits' avec un s, n'est pas?

In the test question "' We want him to become a lawyer"'  translates to "' ...que il devienne avocat".   Why not un avocat?

for example...

Hi Kwiziq,

I have noticed a few new lessons show up but then dissapear, e.g. meaning of Pauvre.

If these are yet to be released lessons then thats fine, I just wondered if these was a problem with my subscription.

Great work as usual !

Hello Kwiziq team and learners. 

l am just wandering why in the two following sentences the 'de' proposition is used differently? 

Sentence 1 - Vous êtes un amateur de vin?

Sentence 2- Vous êtes un amoureux du vin?

I look forward to reading the reply :)
