Why say l'après-midi, when it could never be AM?Hi Team,
I understand the below rule and it makes perfect sense...
However, when there is risk of confusion between AM and PM, you will either use the 24-hour clock, OR add precisions like du matin (in the morning), de l'après-midi (in the afternoon)
But, why would one say "Il est quatorze heures de l'après-midi." when there is no risk of confusion here and it would never mean anything other than 2pm in the afternoon anyway?
It seems unnecessarily specific to me, so I chose not to select this option for the question:
What are the ways to SPECIFICALLY say "It is two PM." ?
It's like saying, I'm sunbathing under the sun.
Thanks
Kwiziq smartly points out that I "should" have used an upper case Ç (pasted in here) although there is no way to actually type that character in the exercise. When I try holding the C key, it shows an upper case cedilla c, but does not allow me to enter it.
Duh........

Has the conjugation of essayer in the present tense changed over the years? I learned "j'essaye" ( a long time ago ).
I just read "soit que" somewhere and I wonder if it means the same. If not, what is the difference? The googled explanation didn't really make sense...
I am having difficulty in understanding some of the rules around "depuis que". For example, the sentence "Depuis je te l'ai recontré, je me sense mieux" means in English "Since I have met you, I've been in love with you". Please explain why It isn't "Since I met you". Thanks.
The solution has sa belle robe vert but the text and the audio have sa belle robe verte. I was marked down for verte.
