The answer to this question:' Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinen' is 'les unes'. I wrote 'certaines d'entre elles' which was marked wrong. Is it wrong because it's not what is being taught, or is it wrong because 'les autres' always follows ';les unes' and only 'les unes'? I find that hard to imagine.

Transitif vs Intransitif

Bonjour forum et les experts

Au sujet de la phrase, 'c'était un Paris pittoresque, certes, mais il était difficile d'y circuler' et son alternative, 'c'était un Paris pittoresque, certes, mais il était difficile de s'y déplacer'.

Aurais-je raison de penser que le verbe, circuler dans la première phrase est un verbe transitif alors que le verbe, se déplacer dans le deuxième phrase est un verbe intransitif?

Si j'ai raison, je me demande si c'est également correct de re-écrire la deuxième phrase sans la y , ''cétait un Paris pittoresque, certes, mais il était difficile de se déplacer', car les verbes intransitifs n'ont pas besoin d'un objet direct ou indirect?

Votre aide serait apprécié beaucoup.

The way these reading exercises are set up is immensely useful. I love the internal links. I could spend a lot of time on this.

C'est vs. elles sont

Bonjour à tous !

Yesterday I was chatting with friends and then, I entertained a doubt that I couldn't clear up on my own. Here's the dialogue of two of my friends:

- J’ai aussi acheté des pêches.

- Oui, elles sont très bonnes et populaires

Is there any way of stopping Kwiziq testing me on specific questions?

I keep getting asked a question that I know I have no intention of answering.. I don't answer it so it keeps getting asked.. .. and asked..... is there any way of telling Kwiziq not to ask me again?.. and, presumably, it is marking me down for my failure to answer.

Hi, I'm wondering why the "de" is included in this line?
