Difference between quiz question and lesson examples« Je possède trois appartements, ---- deux sont loués » is one of the kwiziq questions in this section.
« J'ai trois enfants, dont deux qui sont au collège. » is one of the examples from the lesson.
Also from the lesson " If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb. "
There is no space in the question to write "dont deux qui sont loués" in the quiz answer.
Is this a mistake in the question/answer format, or is there a grammatical reason for the difference -eg passive voice - that I am missing ? The explanation and examples in the lesson do not seem to match the answer this question, as presented, appears to call for.
Please what's the meaning of 'y' and how can it be used?
Hi!
There's been some issues with the tests again! I think you know what kind of problem it is right now, because it happens quite occasionally and frequently, so I'll leave you to figure it out!
With pleasure,

In this paragraph, the English sentence was "My CV SPOKE for itself" but the French was in the present tense. Mon CV parle de lui-même. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?

Hi. I'm wondering about the sentence Elles ne se sont pas rasees cette semaine./ They didin't shave this week. You would normally associate shaving with men, not women as in your example. Wouldn't it be better to change the subject of the sentence to ILS ne sont pas rases cette semaine, and a week being a long time to go without shaving, the end could be
ce matin, not cette semaine. and you would get a nice sentence
They (men) didn't shave this morning.
Anyone have an opinion on this please ? Is there any ambiguity in French ?
"elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnante." Surely this should be: "elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnants."
It is the hats that are impressive, not the collection.
If the collection was impressive, it should have been: Elle a une collection impressionnante de chapeaux, or possibly
Elle a une impressionante collection de chapeaux ( don't think this second one is as good, but it may be ok).
Thanks, Paul..
HI,
I was wondering would these two sentences be correct?
1) nous aimons Faire de la randonnée au canada
2) nous randonnons au canada
It's not homework just understanding the lesson on here better for practice.
Thanks
Nicole
The correct spelling of connaitrais, should be connaîtrais, yes?
