Je trouve ce sujet difficile a comprendre. Chaque fois j'ai répondu c'est la mauvais réponse. Aimer ou aimer bien, ou aimer beaucoup. Pouvez-vous expliquer. Merci.
I understand that une soirée indicates the duration of the evening, while un soir indicates the general time of day, but given this is a Level 1 quiz, is that not a bit advanced for this level? As far as I recall the only context given in Level one for "une soirée" was for an evening function or party. I was marked wrong for using choisissez rather than choisis, presumably because choisissez is too advanced for this level?
For "Lake Geneva" the hint given was that in French it is "le lac Leman/le lac de Genève" but the answer had "Lac" capitalised - "ses vues époustouflantes du Lac Léman/ du Lac de Genève". So wondering whether it was the hint or the answer that was correct, or whether both forms are allowed. Thanks.
What is the English translation for “histoire d’en profiter au maximum tant que ça dure.”
Merci
In the short video, the examples of a "le haricot" as an aspirated "H" and "l'hotel" as a silent "H" are given. I really cannot hear a difference. It seems to me that "Haricot" is pronounced as "aricot" without an unaspirated "H". The same for "La hache". At least, they are not pronounced as we pronounce an "H" in the English "Help" for example. So, that's what I am asking for, some "Help".
Est-ce que c'est simplement une question de niveau?
Can I say 'il tente de parler français' instead of 'il essaie de parler français'?
I guess I fell into the trap of considering "play with dolls" to be a general statement and used "les poupées".
Is this not a general statement? Should "some" be implied here and thus the use of "des poupées"?
