While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response:

For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you?

- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?

In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps

Thanks!

Please can you make it accessible to go back one to see where I went wrong rather than doing the entire test again???

Which one of these sentences is correct /incorrect

I am finding these extremely difficult, for some reason, despite doing a lot of wotk on ce que / que etc. It would be helpful if you could find some way of explaining why the wrong answers are wrong.

Les parcs d'attractions ?

As a theme park is « un parc d'attractions » (wordreference/Larousse) shouldn't the plural (general) be « les parcs d'attractions » ? The 's' on the end of « attractions » is being red-lined presently, and the transcription also has « les parcs d'attraction » without the final 's'.

Also, as has come up in at least a couple of other exercises 'very fun' is not considered good English by many (regional - in use US and Canada apparently, but is not good 'British' English) - just 'it is fun', 'it is a lot of fun', 'it is great fun'.

It is not 'very fun' for many of us to see its repeated use.

Arrêter de and cesser de - both correct

Cesser de fumer gets the red line.

On the other hand, « déborder » is suggested as an alternative to « occuper » for 'busy' - « déborder » seems a bit strong for just 'busy'.

"La lettre que j'ai ecrite."

I am perplexed with this particular example (repeatedly get it wrong on the tests). I believe I understand the concept, but in this instance could you explain why spelling of "ecrite"? Wouldn't the last "e" also have an accent aigu? For example (from the same lesson): J'ai rencontré les actrices que j'ai appréciées. Some examples have it, others do not. Though I've reviewed the lesson repeatedly, obviously something is going over my head!

Thank you.

Valerie
