I am not doing the lessons in order but just looking them up for more for information in addition to what I am studying in class.
So say I am reading lesson 424 on passé composé, I have finished the 2 question quiz and then I want to go the next lesson....number 425...how do I get there?
If I type "Lesson 425" in the search box, it does not give me the option for that lesson.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
By GDP La Californie as of 2018 is 50% richer than Le Texas. (Probably why so many French people live in L.A.!)
By median income Le Texas doesn't even make the Top 10. The top 3 are 1. Le New Hampshire 2. Le Minnesota 3. Le Hawaii.
Just thought you would like to know ... :- )

In the sentence "What do you miss the most?" the word "what" is the object of the verb. So it would be easy to think that the correct translation is "Qu'est-ce que te manque le plus?" However, in French the construction differs from English. The French construction is essentially "What is missing to you the most"? Hence "what" has become the subject of the verb and accordingly the correct translation is "Qu'est-ce qui te manque le plus?"
Can someone confirm that this analysis is correct please?
Question is you haven't lived here long?
I answered tu n'as pas habilité ici depuis longtemps as per the explanation leçon un négatif sentence i should use passé composé
But kwiziq is saying right answer is
Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps
Please explain
This is under the ‘sound different’ section, but (to me) they sound the same.
As a French major studying literature, it made sense to learn passé simple. But now, over 40 years later and speaking French as a tourist, I have no need for it. I’ve really enjoyed Lawless French until I got to level c and so many questions on passé simple! I’d rather learn helpful vocabulary and expressions/idioms than advanced verb conjugations. Love, the site, but not passé simple!
Just read all the other comments—glad I’m not the only one who’s not keen on passé simple.
I write "Elle l'adorait !" , why is it wrong? To replace a statement, we must use "ça" ?
I believe it would be better to replace "behind" with "after" to be consistent with the use of "before" in the following paragraph :
J'ai regardé la fille. la fille is the object of ai regardé but it's behind, so no agreement.I watched the girl.
-> Je l'ai regardée. l' replaces la fille -feminine/singular- and it's before the verb, so agreement.
I watched her.
