Several conjugators of French verbs show these as alternatives.
IndicatifPrésentjerépars; répartisturépars; répartisil;elle;onrépart; répartitnousrépartons; répartissonsvousrépartez; répartissezils;ellesrépartent; répartissentSimilar to the question previously from Frank on 'choose a/my career' (and as G noted in his response), the English to be translated is "I found teachers fascinating" but only 'mes professeurs' is accepted. Either the English should be changed to 'my teachers' or "les professeurs" added to the accepted translation.
Why does, "I think that I am ready" not trigger the subjunctive and make it "je pense que je sois prête"?
Why is it "Nous faisons des progrès" instead of "le progrès?
Could somebody please rewrite the explanation of irregular 'e-less' adverbs, found under the example box of vraiment, etc, into shorter, clearer english?
J'aimerais savoir si le verbe rencontrer dans la phrase "Je suis désolée que vous rencontriez des problèmes..." est au subjonctif ou à l'imparfait?

I don't quite understand why "était" (imperfect) is used with "depuis." Is that because it is not longer his dream? Is is because the dream has been fulfilled? This dream does not continue?
Hi all,
just wondering if the liaison in the following sentence between "sortis" and "ensemble" is required, forbidden, or optional?
"Nous sommes sortis ensemble."
or similarly,
"J'ai pris un taxi."
The expression 'au détriment de' does not in this case mean 'to the detriment of', since the Old French vocabulary itself as not been harmed. The expression is better translated 'at the cost of', since it refers to the replacement of a certain amount of older vocabulary by neologisms formed directly or indirectly from classical languages.
OK, after ten minutes of work I *think* I finally found the answer in 2b (it might have been 2a — I can’t look while typing this) of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
My question was how to decide between ce and elle. I *think* the answer is that this is a general statement of opinion. It would be nice if the first answer marked with the green checkmark as a correct answer were the one that contains a link to the lesson/article including this information. Actually it would be nice if that answer contained links to the other related articles as well.
Note that the first answer marked with the green checkmark is NOT correct. More accurately, it is ONLY correct if one encounters this question in the context of a lesson. When one encounters the question as part of a « Test Now » set of ten questions for level A1 (as I did, of course) there is no lesson context to tell you to use ce instead of ça. That wasn’t my problem, but it was not helpful to encounter that « correct answer » while trying to solve my issue.
