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! :-)
Some references say the following meaning about the verbs:
-sortir = to bring out
-sentir = to do
-repartir: to answer back,
is this true?
Merci!
Why is it "je viens de Atlanta"? I was marked wrong for d'Atlanta
I could not find photocopier in the Library Index so used Larousse online dictionnaire. This gave both photocopieur (n.m.) and photocopieuse (n.f.) I chose the masculin form so did not mark myself down. Is there a reason to prefer the feminin form?
I was surprised to see « de la confiture de framboises » indicated as incorrect (the final 's' getting the red strikethrough), not as an acceptable alternative. Only the singular « framboise » was indicated as correct, although the question was raised a year ago and it was noted that either is acceptable.
The plural « framboises » is clearly not incorrect and should not be marked so. Otherwise, it looks like Bonne Maman et St Dalfour may need to change their labelling.
