I have great difficulty in deciding whether to use l'imperfait or parfait in translations and am surprised to see that both are acceptable in the sentence 'He wrote beautiful lyrics'. The imperfect is the preferred translation but the perfect is given as an alternative translation.
in the sentence le dernier mois ou' la vraiment le raisin arrive a la maturite.
it should be quand and not ou'
Bonjour,
I'm a bit confused which exactly is the gérondif/participe présent. Is it the entire en+ant verb form or simply the ant verb form--since it can exist without the en preposition [as shown in the video link and the external link].
Merci :)
1. In the numbers test, quatre-cent-cinq was a correct answer. We don't use cinque for numbers above 100?
2. In the lesson you have deux-cents (with a hyphen), and cinq cents (no hphen). Is cinq cents an exception to the hyphenation rule?
I didn't do as well as I had hoped yet for every response, I had portions of the phrase correct. I agree with the comments here that when the phrase is incorrect, you shouldn't respond with 'well done.' Also, it appears you are grading on the way you expect the answer to be; however, there are multiple ways to express the phrase and many of my answers were the alternative. Granted, the spelling was wrong and I missed some words but I understood how to express each phrase. I would profit from knowing what I need to work on vs 'well done.'
