There is discordance between the hint and the 'best answer' indicated.
The best answer was listed as " ... ravi de TE rencontrer" with the answer "...ravi de VOUS rencontrer" getting the strikethrough and relegation to the 2nd line!
Both accepted, which is lso not quite right if 'vous' is needed in the social context.
(And the final transcript uses 'enchanté' alone, which although correct, would make the clue to use polite 'vous' redundant.)
I was intrigued by "dans ces moments-là" which is dropped into the examples without explanation of the choice of preposition. Maybe because it’s a generalisation, which doesn’t reference a particular time? I can’t see that it’s down to the choice of "moment" because you can say "en ce moment".
For "real disaster", shouldn't it be behind the noun?
Bonsoir, je ne comprends rien
The examples:
1. J’ai besoin d’aller faire les courses avant le dîner and
2. Je dois aller faire les courses avant dîner
I understand that in 1. the noun is used and in 2. the verb but in 2. could you also say
Je dois aller faire les courses avant le dîner ?
I’m asking because my mind translates 2. as - i need to go shopping before dining.
In the Fall/Automne quiz I put marron for chestnut but was marked wrong. Why?
In this text, the adverb "necessarily" in the sentence "I don't believe that it is necessarily a negative concept" is translated only as "necessairement", without "forcément" being one of the alternatives. When would you use one adverb rather than the other?
I'm curious about the adjective placement in "fervent défenseur." Would it be equally correct to say "un défenseur fervent" as a way to start this sentence?
