Bonjour Aurélie, Laura
I was wrong when writing”Je me promène avec mon chien”. Kwiziq has an example in the explanation :” Je me promène dans le parc avec Julie”. The différence here is la place “ dans le parc”,right? I feel confusing. Thanks a lot.
The question and answer: J'ai fini. - Write "I didn't finish." : Je n'ai pas fini
makes me wonder... In English 'I have not finished' implies you are still working on it, whereas 'I did not finish' implies that you are not still working on it (e.g. you ran out of time in an exam). It looks as if the passé composé could mean either of these. Right? If so, what is the easiest way to make this distinction in French?
The quiz asked "It's lame", "_____ nul".
The answer that it wants is "C'est nul".
Why can't it be "Il est nul"?
Suppose the sentence was a response to the question "What do you think of that film?"
The answer is providing an opinion with an adjective which it is applying to a specific thing - "that film".
That sounds a lot like case 2b in the lesson:
"2. Cases expressing opinions or simple statements (adjectives) about prementioned things"
"b. il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things"
