French language Q&A Forum

In my dictionary, the verb, sail, is translated as "naviguer" or "faire de la voile".   The latter, which I used in the first sentence, was accepted.  I believe that "faire de la voile" was not accepted in the second sentence nor in the last sentence of this exercise.  Is there a distinction that I am missing or is it just a question of the use of variation in this paragraph?

Can we say il m’attendre pour vérifie sous son lit?

This is nit-picking, I know, but please allow me to question the literal English translation you gave in one example in the dates lesson.  In English the year 2013 (twenty thirteen) is not as the example suggests, literally "two thousand thirteen".  It is literally "twenty hundred thirteen".  Just as 2022 is literally "twenty hundred twenty-two", etc.  We might have chosen the alternative pronunciation of 2013 as "two thousand and thirteen", but that would not be twenty thirteen.  When we say "twenty thirteen" we are literally saying twenty hundred thirteen, not "two thousand thirteen".

2013 (deux mille treize)

2013 (twenty thirteen -> literally "two thousand thirteen")

P.S.  Parallèlement, on étudient les mathématiques et la langue française.  Incroyable!  :-)
