French spelling reforms of 1990The French are officially "encouraged" to use the "new spelling" of the reforms of 1990 (but the old forms are still allowed). The new spelling is now taught in schools for example and is included in style guides for various media groups. However your algorithm always seems to correct "plait" to the ancient spelling of "plaît", insisting on the unnecessary circumflex. I'm used to it now, as I have been corrected a number of times in various exercises like this one, but surely this must confuse some of your other subscribers? (In my opinion you should probably mark us correct for both options, but if only one is preferred then maybe it could be the new official spelling?)
P.S. Since writing this, I have found some conjugation guides give : Je plais, tu plais, il plaît, nous plaisons, vous plaisez and ils plaisent. With the circumflex included only in the 3rd person singular (which is the only case where it is followed by a "t"), but I have been unable to find a reason for this, or even whether it is correct?
"mais leur magie demeure avec le spectateur"
--> why cant the verb "rester" be used?
why is
'je vous la donne' the translation for 'I give it to you' when we don't know the gender of 'it'? shouldn't it be 'je vous le donne'
in the same manner why is 'je la lui a écrite' - i wrote it to her - not 'je le lui a écrit'?
In the full passage answer text, 'je vais prendre un coca' is given. In the test, it suggests one uses Le Futur Proche, as here, but then marked it as not the best answer and provided the best answer in the Future Tense ie 'Je prendrais'. Much confusion!
Penultimate prompt is in fact for the last sentence.
Is there a difference of meaning between these two words? If yes, what is it?
Does it make any sense to ask why "Hanoucca" doesn't use a definite article in order to ease the pronunciation? Is it because the "H" is an "H aspiré"?
Je déteste quand je connaise une bonne réponse mais je choisis une réponse mauvaise parce que je dépêche! J'ai besoin de lire chaque réponse en avance de choisir une réponse. oh la la la la la la la ! :)
