Why is 'disputer' not conjugated here ? Also, is 'vous' reflexive here ?
why is recevrez, the future tense being asked for? wouldn't ce weekend indicate a "near future action " and so take the present tense?
I haven’t come across "une terrasse touristique" - is it a pavement café?
Also, it seems to me that there’s an extraneous consonant in the fourth sentence, between du and lieu: qui émane du … lieu lui-même
(Not sure how to flag technical issues in the listening exercises)
Si triste, mais si vraie. En mort, apres les combats, les combattants, autrefois ennemis, ont plus en commun que leurs frères en la vie.
Can you please explain why "J'ai les jeux marron" is not "marrons"?
I marked myself down for writing "je fais une soupe tiède" rather than "je fais une soupe chaude".
In English warm doesn't mean hot, and in fact I'm not sure we would say "warm soup", but "hot soup". Does "tiède" mean warm? Or do we always use "chaud" for food?
Also, the bot corrected my "une crème brûlée fait maison" to "une crème brûlée faite maison" so I also marked myself down for that and then it turned out my original version was fine after all. :)
I translated this as 'Il était incroyable hier' - but it was marked wrong, citing the correct answer as, 'Il a été hier' why? Even when I put it into a translator it says it should be était. What am I missing?
I am surprised by the position of 'donc'.
As an adverb I would have expected it between pas and été.
As a conjunction I would have expected it after été, or at the beginning of the phrase
