More problems getting on the horseDid a quiz, apparently answered wrong, and am now very confused.
The question: Elle ________ monté le poney de Jérémie et il a été très docile.
I went with "a monté". The quiz says the correct is "est monté".
Going by the Q&A, it seems like my answer was correct. I am stumped in two ways.
First, the Q&A says that avoir followed by the past participle is used for getting on a horse. This is a (pro)noun followed by a direct object. The lesson uses the example a "a monté mon cheval". I'm struggling to see why the verb auxiliary would switch based on who owns the horse.
Second, assuming I have the first part wrong someone how and être is the correct auxiliary, should the correct answer not be "est montée"? The subject is feminine.
This is the first lesson I've run across that is confusing, so that's pretty darn good! There are no examples of third person plural except the irregular one, so a novice has no idea what the third person plural rule is for regular verbs. Please update so make it clear that aient is indeed the ending for regular as well as irregular verbs (maybe by using a regular verb as the example since this page is supposed to be about regular verbs). Thanks.
I'm curious about the liaison in œufs en chocolat. I think I heard the F linked. I would likely have linked the S instead. Could you explain this please?
Hello there.
In this question: Les champions sont…… heureux.
I think that tous(adj) and tout(adv) are both correct.
Les champions sont tous heureux.
=The champions are all happy.
Les champions sont tout heureux.
=The champions are very happy.
If I'm wrong, pleas tell me which indéfini is true

My understanding is that in French "menu" is the word for the chalkboard list of daily specials. And "carte" is the paper list of all the items that the restaurant can serve. I used "à la carte" in this exercise. I guess Kwiziq is not making that distinction in A1. Or, I am under a false impression.
Bonjour!
Can you give some more examples for this lesson because I did not understand this lesson.
Merci!
Please explain why partir is used instead of aller for "Where are you going this year"?
Thank you
Interesting. So why are there examples given wherein both actions take place in the future? Such as:
Après avoir fini ma dissertation, je commencerai mes révisions.After finishing my essay, I will start studying for my exam.
Can 'suddenly' be translated as 'soudainement'? Reverso seems to think that there is such a word.
Thanks
