Hi Dear kwiziqians,
The below English texts have below them their translations, which have two
"fonts" : Italic and Bold.
Would you mind telling me which translations are correct between the italic
and bold translations?
Why You Feel So Stressed Out After a Vacation
La raison
pour laquelle vous vous sentez si stressé après des vacances or Pourquoi vous vous sentez si stressé après des
vacances ( I don't think that this is normal because "pourquoi"
is used only for only questions, not affirmative sentences)
It’s normal to experience some degree of stress or disorientation when
you’re coming down from the high of vacation.
Il est normal de vivre un certain degré de stress ou de désorientation lorsque
vous descendez or revenez du sommet des vacances.
Is "sommet des vacances" = the high of vacation?
But the problem isn’t taking vacation in the first
place — it’s your approach to it.
Mais le
problème n’est pas de prendre des vacances en
premier lieu or d'abord : c’est votre conception des
vacances.
For this one, there is an external intervention. The
"and" which is within brackets is not in the original speech. Can I
do that in French?
"The return to the faster pace of life, the work that has piled up,
the responsibilities, and the backlog of ‘to-dos’ often creates a sense of
anxiety, dread, [and] even sadness that can cancel out the very benefits of the
vacation a person has just taken," he said.
« Le retour
à un rythme de vie plus rapide, le travail qui s’est accumulé, les
responsabilités et l’arriéré de « tâches à faire » créent souvent un
sentiment d’anxiété, de crainte [et] même de tristesse qui peut annuler les avantages mêmes des vacances
qu’une personne vient de prendre », a-t-il dit.
Mon dictionnaire (un Robert) dit que l'adjectif "vidéo" est invariable, mais vous avez écrit "vidéos". Je suis perplexe!
how can I pronounce "dont" correctly, I can't differentiate between it and "dans"?
Why is it l'eau du robinet rather than de robinet? On the other hand it is usually de like in résolutions de fin d'année.
Why Couldn't we tell Dans l' Yorkshire ? '' 'Y'is a semi vowel right ?
Why is reposer used in the final sentence as a translation of leaving the tart to set? Doesn't reposer just imply leave it to rest (in the fridge) with no mention of setting?,
This wording has been very confusing to many people in this forum. I’ve read through the comments and still remain very confused about what the author is trying to convey when he/she states these clauses can only be used on their own. Could someone please explain to a Native American English speaker what this actually means? When I read this I am thinking literally “they can only be used on their own” either separated entirely from the phrase using some sort of punctuation OR by using a preposition such “de”. However that doesn’t seem to always be the case which then seems to contradict “used only on their own”. 1st example: “Il a été relâché le jour suivant son arrestation.”
2nd example: “J’y suis allée le jour d’après.”
3rd example: “Le jour précédent leur premier rendez-vous, ils étaient très nerveux.”
Alors, aidez-moi de comprendre, s’il vous plaît. Qu’est-ce que le auteur essaie de dire? Je ne comprends toujours pas. J’ai besoin de quelqu’un m’aider, s’il vous plaît.
Aussi, je pense qu’il faudrait réfléchir à la reformulation de cette phrase pour clarifier de la signification.
Merci beaucoup!

Bonjour Madame Aurélie !
Thanks for designing such a great worksheet on this topic.
But could you please help me with these sentences -
1. L’endroit qui m’a enchanté au dessus de tout, .........
2. Nous nous sommes proménes dans ses jardins merveilleux .......
In the first sentence , I used ‘imparfait’ as I interpreted it as a state of mind which the narrator was in of being mesmerized . Secondly, I had used ‘imparfait’ in the second sentence after reading your lesson that ‘l’imparfait’ is used for describing the scene , characters , setting of the phrase. Please provide the reasons why Kwizbot marked me incorrect .
Bonne journée !
( I would appreciate to be answered by Madame Aurélie )
Hi, in “Et pour le maquillage, j'ai opté pour un ombré bleu nuit” should it be ombre instead of ombré? The reason I think this is that ombre seems to be a noun, whereas ombré is an adjective.
