Not understanding the title of this lesson

Hello,

I don't really understand the title of this lesson. What does the (not -ant) mean at the end?

Thank you very much.

à vs de as prepositions exam was delightful, but the lesson is located where?

I enjoyed your quiz on using à vs de, but I've had no success in locating a lesson where you illustrated the differences. Can you share?

the subjonctif for the verb penser

Bonjour,

J’espère que vous allez bien !

I am desperate to find out a fact!

Please help!

According to your site, penser may require the subjunctive, depending on whether it is used affirmatively, negatively, or interrogatively.

So, I use the subjunctive for an interrogative sentence.

However, when I did a petit quiz on the subjonctive, my answer was wrong.

“Tu penses qu’il soit capable de réussir ?”

The correct answer is “est”!

But why? Because this question is informal, not “Penses-tu qu’il…”?

I appreciate your information.

Merci d’avance.

typing in accent marks on quizzes

I think I understand WHAT to do if I need to choose an accent mark on a quiz, but I cannot do it correctly. Could you please explain explain it very thoroughly, step by step? It doesn't let me hold down the letter, or else I don't understand how to do it. I am getting answers wrong only for that reason, but I can't seem to correct it. Am I supposed to go to the choices before or after I type the letter that needs the accent mark or something completely different? Thank you.

"Je n'ai jamais aimé le goût de la viande"

Can I use l'imparfait instead? : "Je n'aimais pas le goût de la viande"

'ne pas aimer le goût' is a past habit, has no clear begining and end, as well as expressing an opinion. Why can't we use l'imparfait?

en train de faire vs imparfait

I love this site-- but I think they have done a bad job explaining what, if any, is the difference. Especially in the quizzes. what am I missing?

My company

I have probably changed the translation by thinking of “my company” as “my firm” (which is what i say in everyday English in this situation) and using “ma société”, but i’ve always been unsure of une société vs une entreprise vs une compagnie. Can this be clarified for once and for all !!?

Pint? Demi, maybe?

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