QUESTION #1 on the short quiz. I love the question and its hint "How would you say ''I haven't been in France for long.'' ?(literally: I haven't long arrived to France.)
The answer: Je ne suis pas arrivé en France depuis longtemps.
Je ne me sens pas intelligent et j'ai l'air stupide comme ça depuis longtemps !!! I think i get it! I know I got it! OOOPS me no get it!!
The hint imposes a thought process on the reader which would not be there otherwise. Clever... it reinforces the understanding of the verb 'arriver' as a sort of process.... and shakes up the marbles in the old nuggin.
However!!! My question. I arrived in France 'yesterday' and I am telling someone today that "I haven't been in France for long". I am thinking it calls for the Present indicative and depuis. Since i was in France as of yesterday(the past) and am still here today (the present).
Je ne suis pas en France depuis longtemps!!!
Without the hint and its imposition of the verb 'arriver' then doesn't this question change dramatically.
Help!!!!!!!
Could you please explain the reason for the inversion of the negative "ne...rien" in this sentence? Thank you.
I have mentioned time as six heures quarante-cinq why it is marked wrong
The question 'The last time he came, he didn't behave himself.' is confusing as this could refer to a series of visits rather than a final visit. Therefore either 'la semaine dernière or la dernière semaine '' could be correct
This question was on a test. Write "I play tennis.": Je ________ tennis. Did I understand the lesson correctly?
Does the answer match what the lesson is teaching? (I can't see or remember either at this moment, but I copied the question before leaving the test page.)

So there were 2 questions, and this is how it went,
Le treize mars= the 13th March
Le quatorze juin= the 14th of June
And it told me that "the 13th of March" is incorrect. Is there a specific reason for that? Cause it seems like Le treize mars and Le quatorze juin have the same build..
I could not understand the phrase "un bon pour les cheveux shampooing" so could not put words in right order.
Hang on, the example says les chats voient dans la nuit so why is Les chats gris voient dans la nuit wrong and the wanted answer Les chats gris voient la nuit?
Bonjour,
Why isn't vivre considered as a verb of state unlike naître and the others?
Merci :)
Hi, I notice in some text books faire in the subjonctif present - third person plural is spelt fassent and not the same way as done here faissent. Can both spellings be used?
