French language Q&A Forum

Why doesn't the phrase, "I wondered", not agree with the speaker?  I wrote, "donc je me suis dite" but the text doesn't have the verb agree with the female speaker as it corrected me with, "donc je me suis dit".

Hello,

how can i say a friend who is shy ? 

un timide ami ou un ami timide

merci

I am unclear on the meaning of two phrases within this test (Google translate didn't help too much)

1. un coup de soleil carabiné

2. sache que j'en bave vraiment

Could someone explain the meaning of these? Thanks

Bonjour les gars et les experts

Au sujet de la frase, 'j'ai dû le lire trop vite!'  

Serait-ce possible de dire aussi 'je dois l'avoir lu trop vite!'?

An alternative given for "You finally got up" was "Tu es enfin levé". I thought it would be "tu t'es enfin levé" (as the reflexive verbe is "se lever"). Just wondering if this was a typo, or am I missing something? Thanks.

I put "Elle" because it is a specific house, but the website says the answere should be "C'est"..why?

I don't see in the lesson where it explains when to use the subjunctive conjugation for commands versus standard imperatif. Thanks!

Is the above sentence missing a "faire"? I'm wondering if it should say "nous lui voulions faire du mal"?

I am always confused about when to use the article le la l’...

We are from (de). does or does not need a    la      or a    du (de le)

I have noted in another post recently that it is a frustration, annoyance even, to come to a lesson, struggle with a concept, and then find the same question arising often in Q and A. The Q&A section is often very long, and repetitive with a mix of highly relevant and less relevant comments (like this one in this section perhaps? - shrug), and reading all the way through it after every section, is not the most efficient use of study time. I suggest that when the urge arises to write in response to a question anything along the lines of 'this has been asked and answered before', that should signal the need for the question/answer to be directly addressed in the lesson - initially an addendum tagged in at the end of the lesson, but subsequently properly incorporated, for example. This is presented as an opportunity for improvement rather than just a criticism - as the end product will be much better lessons. Others may have other suggestions to address this and improve further.
