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.
he knew that : "I was playing football" =direct speech
he knew that I had been playing football=indirect speech
or
he knew that "I used to play football" = direct speech
he knew that I used to play football=indirect speech
How can I create "indirect speech" for these sentences
will you please help me? Thank you
This idea also exists in English ie 'He's selling his motorbike' can mean is is actually in the act of selling it in the present moment OR it can mean that he intends to sell it in the future.
When using avoir as the auxilliary verb in the passe compose, I thought that the past participle had to agree with the direct object... so in the previous exercise there was:
"Nous avons nouri nos chiens" ...are not les chiens the direct object of the verb in that sentence?
"il a fini ses devoirs" ...are not les devoirs the direct object of that sentence...?
...I guess I have got something very wrong here... grateful for any guidance...

Is this expression referring to the internet in this context?
With respect, I think that this lesson fails to make a clear distinction between the many different ways of using "to miss" and "missing" in English and "manquer" and "rater" in French. I suggest that the lesson be broken down and recreated as several lessons, each with a clear learning objective.
Not really a French question, but how do you type a dash to get a "your answer matched mine" in the writing exercises? Even if I write exactly the same as the model answer, if the phrase begins with a dash the computer doesn't credit me with getting it right. Is it something to do with the number of spaces before or after? Or is there a type of dash I'm not using?
Frustrating as I challenge myself to get 3 or 4 "matches" per exercise, but this means half of my attempts have no chance....
il est parti avant qu'elle arrive= why this is correct and don't we are supposed to say:
il est parti avant qu'elle sois arrivée?

Why is ce restaurant plâit à nous wrong? Shouldn't ce restaurant nous plâit and ce restaurant plâit à nous both be correct?
