Why does mais "elle l'a réussi" get marked wrong, in lieu of "elle l'a eu?" Are they not synonymous?
Bonjour Madame,
The final text at the end reads-“Je m’assois dans mon canapé.”
Should it not be ‘sur’ ? (For saying - I sit on the sofa)
Merci d’avance !
The lesson gives the following two examples which both seem to refer to specific objects but use different constructions. What is the difference?
C'est une jolie robe.
Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau
“a dit Maman d'un ton admiratif en le voyant”
This seems such a strangely constructed sentence! Can anyone break it down?
(i) “admiratif” is an adjective (I think) but the possessive “ton” treats it like a noun.
(ii) “voyant” seems to be used as a present participle here (“the seeing”), but I’ve only seen these preceded by “en” before.
Just a small typo here. It of course should be “about France” or “about the French”.
pourquoi quand vous dîtes “ J’arrive au “travail” vers neuf heures etc’ travail est masculin quand même nous connaissons la personne est feminine.... Et son amie Annie “travaille” à coté de son bureau ??
Might it be worth expanding on the current form in the lesson itself?
"Je n'aime pas non plus certains supporters qui peuvent être violents ou même racistes"
Could you use "voire" to replace "ou même" in this sentence? With a comma after "violents" ? I tried and it was marked incorrect.
Thank you!
Should "Montre-moi les mains!" really be considered wrong? I understand you put that in this lesson as an example of reducing ambiguity, with "tes mains", but I definitely don't see it as something to be taken as a wrong answer in a quiz.
If I'm correct, we do the exact same thing in Spanish, and both "Muéstrame tus manos" y "Muéstrame las manos" would be correct. There is no ambiguity whatsoever (i.e. no sane person would wonder whose hands we're asking the person to show). Is it really really different in French?
I mean, it is one thing to try to get students to answer what you taught them, and a very different thing to reject right answers (especially when this very same lesson covers using definite articles for this).
