Translator confusionHi Kwizik
I am a Premium member and really enjoy the Kwizik model of learning, but I also use a number of other apps, books and websites to study French. I also use 2 or 3 Translators to verify my study before committing “pen to paper” but I am getting a bit frustrated with being marked down in Kwizik, when I have picked different phrases from the recognized and popular translators (Reverso, Google, sometimes DeepL). The latest exercise is “a day in my cat Max’s Life.
EG. donner un câlin or faire un câlin? I chose donner - Kwizik said wrong, should be faire.
EG. Nourriture sèche pour chats or aliments secs pour chats - Kwizik said wrong, should be croquettes.
These are just a couple of examples, but I have many more.
My question is therefore, can Kwizik please suggest the best translator app to use, one Kwizik recommends, which will give us the best information so we get things right. Everyone uses translators so it would be handy to have that information.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks - Jo
What would be the easiest way to remember how to use the inversion with the verb first and the Qu'est ce que etc?
Thank you in advance
Si seulement nous tous étions aussi sages comme ce papa !
Would it possible to prompt the users that they haven't answered all the questions.
question was about walking in MOMA but what is that? effects use, no?
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 love the question and its hint "How would you say ''I haven't been in France for long.'' ?(literally: I haven't long arrived to France.)
The answer: Je ne suis pas arrivé en France depuis longtemps.
Je ne me sens pas intelligent et j'ai l'air stupide comme ça depuis longtemps !!! I think i get it! I know I got it! OOOPS me no get it!!
The hint imposes a thought process on the reader which would not be there otherwise. Clever... it reinforces the understanding of the verb 'arriver' as a sort of process.... and shakes up the marbles in the old nuggin.
However!!! My question. I arrived in France 'yesterday' and I am telling someone today that "I haven't been in France for long". I am thinking it calls for the Present indicative and depuis. Since i was in France as of yesterday(the past) and am still here today (the present).
Je ne suis pas en France depuis longtemps!!!
Without the hint and its imposition of the verb 'arriver' then doesn't this question change dramatically.
Help!!!!!!!
What about the cake? is translated as Et la gateau? 'And the cake?' . Agreed they are almost synonymous, but Kwiziq is picky about this sort of thing. Is 'Et..' really the best transalation of 'What about...' ?
Salut,
J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi faut utiliser le passé composé dans cette phrase:
On a été extrêmement impressionnés par la profondeur des galeries : on a du mal à comprendre ce que représentent six millions de corps !
Merci beaucoup :)
Pour quoi "les Mienes" what if the speaker is masculine
