The fete was organized by the sisters, so that Beatrice would have been NOTRE cousine rather then MA cousine.  I recognized that the exercise said "my cousin" but I figured that as they (sisters) were making it, the cousin would have been one of both of theirs.  I guess I overthought what was being asked.....

Dear all, some queries:

1. Could "I'd been certain" is translated as "je m'étais senti certain"  ?

2. Could "la chance n'était pas de mon côté" have been translated as "les chances n'étaient pas de mon côté" ?

3. Could "Nous serions ensuite allés dans sa nouvelle maison" be translated as "Nous serions allés ensuite à  sa maison neuve" ? Queries here about  "dans sa nouvelle maison" vs "à  sa maison neuve" and also about the position of "ensuite" in the sentence.

4. Could "que j'aurais fait meubler au préalable" be translated as "que j’aurais fourni en avance" ?

5. Could "au fil des ans" have been translated as "pendant les années" ?

Thanks in advance as always.

Thanks 

I found the phrases and vocabulary used in this activity to be extremely difficult! I didn't feel ready for this level of translation at all. There is often quite a disparity between the level of language used in the Study Plan lessons (very simple) versus these dictation activities (much more complex). I would love to have more learning in the Study Plan that would support this level of language complexity. 

I don't understand "le tout".

Is "le" article or pronoun? 

Does "tout" mean "everything"? Is it an adjective or pronoun or noun? 

Eux and nous was the answer but stress pronoun should not be 1st?

I am a little confused 

Hello. I think I misunderstood the rules about the using cent and cents.
"Cent" s'accorde uniquement s'il n'est suivi d'aucun chiffre.

Following this, I thought the above phrase should be "cinq cents élus".  Did I understand it correctly ? Or is this rule outdated? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Does this sentence imply that Sarah trusts Thomas now? If I hear someone say 'Sarah does not use to trust Thomas.' in English, I would think that she trusts him now. Not sure about it in French. 

Hey guys 

I have been doing some quizzes but till now I haven't understood how to use define and indefinite particle in French 

Can someone help me to understand ?

Can someone explain for me the answer for the following question? The answer given is D'immenses vagues

________ immenses vagues venaient vers moi

While I understand the need to change des to de/d' when the adjectives are in front of the noun, I don't quite understand this sentence. 

Shouldn't we use LES here? Surely the waves that coming at me is specific and defined and cannot be some random waves.

Or is it because the English translation is "Huge waves come at me", and without the word THE, the whole expression of "huge waves" become non-specific / undefined?

Merci beaucoup en avance :)
