I got it wrong for using ces sont instead of ce sont. Kwiz pointed me to this lesson but it doesn't explain why ces is wrong.
One of the microkwiz questions I had on this lesson asked you to fill in the blank when talking about "my"... "Mes vêtements...."
.. But the possessive is not covered in this lesson and ive not seen it mentioned so far in what I've studied on lawless. I've been googling for a while now but still confused as to how to conjugate for my/your/their
Thanks
why cant you say cinq heures trente, it doesnt say write as if 12 hour clock but only acceptes cinq heures et demie du matin?
When looking around on the internet, it seems like "Retourner" is used here and there, both informal on message boards and formal on shopping sites (for example H&M website: "POUR RETOURNER UN ACHAT EN LIGNE"), for indicating returning an item.
Could you elaborate on this and why you write "Retourner never means to return (something) in the context of a shop for example." ?
I thought with occupations there was no article prior to the occupation. Je suis médecin, not je suis un medecin. Is this an exception?
For: La police est arrivée trop tard.
In english, police and policemen are (la même chose) the same thing, plural nouns, yes? So why then is 'The police arrived too late.' a correct answer and 'The policemen arrived too late.' is not?
Suggestions please, for the best way to find the vocabulary given at the start of each writing exercise and dictée. I use the WordReference app and the unabridged Collins Robert dictionary, but frequently find that phrases in particular are difficult or impossible to find, which makes the vocab list unhelpful. Thanks.
Also, do the following sentences have the same meaning? Which sentence is incorrect? Why?
On fait du sport régulièrement, ce qui est important.
C'est important qu'on fasse du sport régulièrement.
C'est important ce qu'on fasse du sport régulièrement.
Thank you
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
