Bonjour Madame Cécile et Madame Aurélie !
A small message I would like to share with you. Yesterday, I received an e-mail via Help and Support which stated that French experts are of the opinion that I post quite a large number of questions. Indeed it’s true I admit but I would like to tell you that it’s me (Shrey) a school- going thirteen year -old boy who learns French through Kwiziq under my Mom’s name (Varsha). I always had a desire to excel in French which is not taught in my school in India (as the mail suggested me to consult my own teacher sometimes for my queries). After being acquainted with Kwiziq, which motivated my inquisitive mind to grab this very opportunity, I whole-heartedly have started devoting some time to French apart from my school studies. With your constant support and dedication in helping me while answering my doubts since I joined a Premium membership in October 2018 helped me to achieve DELF A1 diploma. I will be indebted to you both forever. I hope you understand my circumstances and would devote your valuable time in future to help me master my French.
Merci beaucoup et Bonne journée !
In the B2 writing exercise, occurs the following phrase: le Ministère a finalement confirmé ce lundi for: the Ministry finally confirmed this Monday.
If ce is a demonstrative adjective, this construction seems incorrect. I translated it as le Ministère l'a confirmé lundi.
In the lesson on simple Passive tenses an example is:
Les étudiants étaient accueillis par le directeur tous les ans.
The students were welcomed by the headteacher every year.
In this lesson, we have the example above: Elles ont été surprises par ...
They were surprised by ...
In both cases the English tense is the same, but it differs in French. Is it important, or can you choose whichever you prefer.
Were they under-cooked? Is this referring literally to nuts/walnuts as part of the meal - or is it a part of the scallop, or a reference to the scallop?
I understand that the general rule of thumb is to use "c'est" when followed by a noun (even when qualified by an adjective) and "il / elle est" when followed by an adjective - so why is it "C'est nuageux" rather than Il est nuageux." Is it to do with 'the weather' being inanimate and non specific? Or something else?
