What is the rule for using "au-dessous/dessus de" rather than "sous/sur"?
I am so confused! Question: _____________le Louvre
I answered : Qu-est ce que c'est le Louvre. Kwiziq says this is partially right. Their answer" Qu-est ce que le Louvre
When I go to "Explain this" my answer seems to be the correct one given the examples they give but they say not. Can anyone explain this?
Why does she say le nom des plants, but not les noms as plural?
I put "Elle" because it is a specific house, but the website says the answere should be "C'est"..why?
I encountered these two sentences in a language learning tool:
"J'ai voulu être un écrivain célèbre toute ma vie"
"J'ai toujours rêvé d'être un joueur de golf professionnel"
I'd like to know the reason why Passé Composé is used rather than L'imparfait.
And also, why "un joueur" is used despite the fact that we don't use indefinite articles when talking about professions?
Thanks a lot.
Is there any way that I can track my progress, because I really want to move up to B2, but I don't know how close I am, so is there a way to track progress towards a certain level?
I think that "Your flat pleases us greatly" is just as good as "We like your flat a lot." It's probably a little better translation because it tracks almost literally word for word with the French. (Just as in "Su apartamento nos gusta mucho" could and would be acceptably rendered in either English translation, with no disagreement of substance.)
One past tense example said "Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici", while another said "Nous avons passé une semaine à Madrid l'été dernier." Why is the non reflexive passer being conjugated with etre?
