I wonder, is the object of this sentence ("la" in) "Tu la suis, ou quoi?" (Are you following her, or what?) part of an expression; a special kind of object pronoun; or just the article for an unspoken feminine object of the sentence (fille/dame)?
On a language forum a Kwiziq user showed a chart from Kwiziq labelled "Your Progress So Far". The chart headers are Level, Achievements, Score and Topics Tested. The chart shows all of the levels (A0, A1, etc) and next to each level has the shield you've achieved, the % score, the number of topics tested (e.g. 13 of 13), and next to that is a "Test Now" button.
She said she can only see the chart when she goes to Cancel Subscription page. Surely there is another way to view such a useful chart! Does anyone know how?
'que les gens me donnent' - was the answer for 'have been giving me'. I thought that the French here meant (in your answer) - 'that the people 'are' giving me'.
Bonjour - for some reason i'm having a really hard time with this lesson. My confusion is the fact that the lesson instructs that the order is reversed with reminding someone of someone else, which I understand well enough.
My problem comes in the test, for a perfect example:
"You remind him of Audrey Hepburn" to which the answer is:
Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn
This seems like the exact same order as the English. Any tips or help would be appreciated. Merci d'avance.
Bonjour,
In the lesson you give the following example:
Mes amis sont venus et tous étaient contents.
But if we change the gender, are these three examples correct?
Mes amies sont venues et toutes étaient contentes. (all of them were happy)
Mes amies sont venues et elles étaient toutes contentes. (they were all happy)
Mes amies sont venues et elles étaient tout contentes. (they were very happy)
Thanks for all your work on this subject. This lesson is long but it's the most comprehensive explanation I've found.
John
The last sentence, is the narrator really referring to age or is this an idiom? To be dressed up? for the New Year.
Bonjour Madame Aurélie,
While doing a test named “Conte de fées” I landed up at a mysterious sentence -
Le père était àgé et sortirait rarement de son lit, alors sa fille devait s’occuper du jardin et des animaux.
Here I would like to ask you why a dû was marked incorrect although the English translation specifies ‘so his daughter had to take care of the garden .....’ . I read your lesson which states that one uses Passé Composé for an obligation that was very well met. And here too is the same case.
The link to the test -

Please help me to figure out the correct option.
Merci d’avance !
Bonne journée!
In the following example......Elle m'a récompensé pour ________ à la gym.
She rewarded me for going to the gym........Who is doing THE action that determines the past participle agreement?Isn't the rule that it's l' if it sounds like it starts with a vowel, not that it actually does?
For instance, «dans l'Hérault» is the correct form, but the rules in this lesson incorrectly state «dans le Hérault».
