Grammar Queries (based on concepts)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I am facing a few problems and am unable to understand the reasons behind them.
1. "He realizes you're cheating." -> Il réalise que vous êtes en train de tricher.
In this sentence, why one doesn’t use Le Subjonctif as the expression is followed by “que”?
2. I knocked at the door, but you were sleeping."
The correct answer was-> J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu étais en train de dormir.
Though, I mentioned “ J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu dormais. (L’Imparfait)
As I was sleeping in progression when someone knocked.
3. Ils ________ écouter.(They should listen.)
Why the accurate answer is -> devraient (Le Conditionnel Présent) and not ‘doivent’ ?
Merci Madame de m’aider encore.
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée !
What is the difference between "il semble que" and "il paraît que" in terms of usage?
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
It's very hard to spot this difference when it isn't mentioned in any of the lessons.
Bonjour,
Je voudrais noter un petit erreur dans la leçon: il y a sept continents, pas six. Il y a deux "amériques," l'Amérique du Nord et l'Amérique du Sud. Dans votre liste de "toutes les continents" vous avez seulement "Amerique."
Bonne journée!
P.S. Je suis dans le Niveau A1, alors je suis désolée pour mes erreurs. Les excusez, s'il vous plaît.
I thought that using 'quoi' was impolite, verging on downright rude. Is this no longer, or never was, the case?
...as “which respect all the norms”. I’d translate this as “which are in accordance with all the standards”. Also, I’d say “glare protection standards” instead of “glare protection norms”.
For the question 'In spite of herself Katia started to hope' I used 'en dépit d'elle'. This was marked wrong and malgré given as the correct answer. What am I missing here? The lesson says that you can use either.

why there's not il/elle; nous; ils/elles?
