I wrote vous êtes cachés and it was caché, but there was no indication that the vous was singular. I could have guessed that only one person was hiding, but it wasn’t clear so I went with the rule. Please make situations like this more explicit so we don’t get marked down for it. Thanks so much!
Why is est being used with coincer ? Why can’t we say elle a coincé ….?
Or as we know that with depuis, we use present tense , then why can’t we say…. Elle coince là….?
Why not faire...
I answered the "vampires in the morning question" (I have attempted to include the french text several times, but the website keeps reducing to a ">"; i guess it doesn't play nice with ">") and would like to better understand why. Am I correct in that the parts of speech for the "nous" are as follows: 1st stress pronoun, 2nd subject pronoun, 3rd reflexive pronoun? I was, prior to the quiz, under the impression that the first "nous" actually serves as a subject pronoun (auxiliary to the les vampires) and thus I omitted the 2nd "nous" in my answer. To help solidify my understanding, would the following be correct: > or does this construction only form with plural subjects? Merci d'avance!
Hello, I am a little confused on what makes the following example a general statement: La jupe coûte 30 euros. - C’est cher!
Based off another lesson on using C’est vs il/elle est, it seems to me like the above statement is commenting on a specific item and should instead be:
La jupe coûte 30 euros. - Elle est chère!
What is the difference here? Merci!
I've encountered a number of sentences in KwizIQ about "going to the ball." Is that something that is common in France? I'm wondering because I've only encountered a ball in the Cinderella fairy tale and not in real life. But maybe that's just the social milieu in which I live!
Greetings!
Could you please help me understand the meaning of this phrase:
"le devoir de mémoire de la Shoah"
In addition, I'm wondering why "mémoire" does not require an article in this context.
Thank you!
When I see the sentence, She smells good, does it mean she smells good (because she doesn't have a cold and her nose is working normally) or it is because she just took a bath (and she doesn't stink?). Do both these meanings work for Elle sent bon?
In the grammar lesson, it explains that you can use either "en" or "de" in "un sac .... cuir". So to avoid confusion, would it not be better to show that both "en" and "de" are also both acceptable answers in "Je possède un blouson _____ cuir". Or are they?
