I tried using blesser to see if the system would accept this alternative and was marked wrong. Tell me why J’ai blessé Olive (yesterday when I stepped on her foot) is wrong. I like blesser because it’s easier to use, but not if it’s wrong! Thanks so much.
Bonjour !
J’avais dû en racheter un nouveau après que Patrick avait cassé le mien.
This sentence is an example from the lesson. Here, plus-que-parfait has been used in both the verbs. Though the action of breaking took place first and then came the necessity to buy a new one.
Would you like to explain how these two cases can be both Le plus-que-parfait ?
Merci d’avance !
In the sentence: À qui sont ces balles ? ________ les miennes. Why can't I say 'ce sont les miennes'?
'Trop loin de ..' is not accepted - being corrected to 'loin de', although the English sentence is 'not TOO far from....'.
Shouldn't "J'y irai ...' be accepted for "I will go (where ? - to my classes) every Wednesday ..." . It is being corrected to just "J'irai....".
From the attached lesson "Note that in French, you always need to mention where you're going with aller (to go *somewhere*)"
