French language Q&A Forum

In my readings of french, I come across this expression frequently, but it seems to have several different meanings.  I would appreciate a lesson on the many different meanings for "à peine". 

Thanks!

I wondered a similar thing and my old dictionary gave "Un demi" presumable for 1/2 litre, more or less?

Based on the user questions here as well as on some other lessons, it seems Kwiziq would be well served to have some learners review the lessons to see if they are clear enough. I know I've seen quite a few pages that were unclear due to insufficient explanation or examples. (I just finished 4 semesters of French, so I'm not really learning but trying not to let it slip away. Still, I have noticed lessons that aren't as clear and/or complete as they could be.)

Also, how do I get to take the quiz again after looking over the material again?

N'importe qui va pouvoir faire = anyone can do... How would this sentence be completed retaining the original wording? 

For the last section, would it also be ok to use "on" instead of "nous": "on peut enfin ouvrir nos cadeaux !"? I thought that was acceptable, but Kwiziq didn't seem to like it.

Pardon for asking, but it states 'Elizabeth deux vient en France' in one of the Minikwizes for this lesson. I'm assuming she WENT to France, not came from [ in ? ] France. It makes no sense to me, but, to be honest, I had to do the country preposition lessons so many times it wasn't even funny. Perhaps I am being stupid, or perhaps I am just railing against my own inadequacies, but, To you I pose this question good sir or madame.

To quote the lesson

So there were 2 questions, and this is how it went,

Le treize mars= the 13th March

Le quatorze juin= the 14th of June

And it told me that "the 13th of March" is incorrect. Is there a specific reason for that? Cause it seems like Le treize mars and Le quatorze juin have the same build..
