I am not sure what gender is "centre"?
I think this could be a regional difference in English, but unless 'South of France' is a specific region, it does not need a capital S in English either (at least not in Australian English). It is unnecessarily misleading as it is currently written, as the French does not capitalise the S either.
Why can't we use "fait le natation" as a translation for "my sister goes swimming every saturday"? In another lesson it talks about how fait le natation is for regular swimming or team.
difference? when used?
The example verbs in the lesson (se lever) and most of the ones presented in the tests (se coucher, se laver, se réveiller) all follow the same pattern-- in that the action is done on/to the subject or the subject own body. However, with the verb se moquer the action is done to someone else and requires the use of "de".
It's unclear why one wouldn't say "Ils me moquent" instead of "Ils se moque de moi". Can some explain this a bit?
Why is it "Il achète du pain"? I think bread is countable so it should be "Il achète des pains"
Est-ce qu’il y a une différence entre le docteur et le médecin?
Can one no longer use je puis?
