In a recent test I was asked to complete the following; Yves a les yeux…….( Yves has brown eyes). I wrote Yves a les yeux bruns which was deemed incorrect; why? My Harraps French English Dictionary assures me that either brun or marron can be used in this context.
My wife is a doctor: Can this be translated as 1) " Ma femme est une médecine . OR 2) Ma femme est médecin . Could you please let me know which one (if any) is correct, and an accompanying explanation would be appreciated. Thanks
I am always getting this wrong and wonder if there is a simple way that people remember when to use encore/toujours for "still" - i.e. why is the correct answer for this exercise, "ils sont ENCORE jeunes" (they are still/again young) and not "ils sont TOUJOURS jeunes (they are still/always young) ?
ne le lui donnez pas?
ne me la donnez pas?
why indirect object's place are different in that negatif imperatifs.
İn the first one "lui" is used after "le"
But second one "me" is used after the "ne"

Why are you devient? As in, elle devient une star... Devient seems to be the present tense of devenir; shouldn't you be using the imparfait?

In my quiz I have a question:
Which of the following are correct?
la sœur
l'oncle
le écharpe
l'souris
And this lesson is mentioned as "explain this". Whilst the lesson really explains usage of le / la, in this case it does not make any sense because I previous lessons did not have either of those four words, so a student just doesn't know what those words mean.
I am confused. I know Un is used with masculine nouns and Une is with feminine nouns. But when I looked at the examples of these two:
Un exemple
Une aventure
They both use the English An, but in French, both nouns are feminine, ending in E. So, why use the masculine form of Un with Exemple???
Really useful rules & exceptions lists to help structure my thinking. Thanks.
Why was it an error when I used “à l’heure” in the writing exercise “My kids’ back to school” B2?
It corrected me with “à temps” (for everything to be ready on time)
Thanks
