The correct grammar would be to say: None of them is.... i.e. 'none' is treated as singular and hence the use of 'is' and not 'are'. Thanks again for a fantastic French course!
I understand that what was wanted was, « Rien ne s’est passé », and that this is correct. But is it not also correct to say « Il ne s’est rien passé »? (I think I got this alternative from the Pimsleur program.)
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.
My question regards choosing to translate using the imparfait or plus que parfait vs passé composé. Often I will choose the passé composé but the exercise will say to use the imparfait or plus que parfait because of expressing an opinion. In this exercise, then, I used the imparfait instead of the phrase describing the first lesson: "....qui s'est très bien passée". Wouldn't this express an opinion? If not, then please help me to see the difference between this and "elle ne s'y attendait pas"
If I have to say 80 or so, What expression should I use?
Also, If I have to say 500 or so, and 1000 or so, What shoud I use?
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”?
I haven't touched french in three years, and when I try to test the AO stuff again, It throws in C1 stuff I haven't seen since 2019, and it's a little humiliating to get all of the other stuff right, but still watch my scores plummet because I didn't remember how to conjugate the imparfait on my "Introducing yourself" Quiz.
Question is you haven't lived here long?

But kwiziq is saying right answer is
Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps
