In my email, this lesson is rated A2 but here in the site it is labeled A1. No wonder, I did well. LOL
For: La police est arrivée trop tard.
In english, police and policemen are (la même chose) the same thing, plural nouns, yes? So why then is 'The police arrived too late.' a correct answer and 'The policemen arrived too late.' is not?
An old castle is still an old castle. If it was an old castle, that implies it is something else now but formerly it was an old castle. It was an old castle that we just saw OR what we are looking at not was an old castle but no longer is'
Serious ambiguity in the question. Either answer could be correct depending on context
How would you say: ''It was an ancient castle.''C'était un château ancien.C'était un ancien château.I thought that using 'quoi' was impolite, verging on downright rude. Is this no longer, or never was, the case?
Would it be possible to say je SERAI enfin la Reine during château at the end? If I'm feeling very positive that this will come about cf just imagining a theoretical case where it would? I understand conditional would then be required.
A hint in the first question suggests "use vous form" in "votre (oeuvre d'art favorite)". But later, speaking to the same person comes the response "Je suis d'accord avec toi". Is there a reason for what appears to me to be an inconsistency? Same two people speaking.
soir vs soiree
