Why does the text switch from using 'nous' and 'on' as in 'ce qui nous ferait une nuit de plus à la belle étoile/on fera les courses'
In the alternative translations, where nous is used, on was not an option. How do you know when to use nous and when to use on?
I put douée - is there any reason why talentueuse was the preferred translation of 'talented'?
I have gotten a number of questions marked incorrect in this regard and I’m wondering if there is a set pattern for writing numbers. Are they to be written out in full or expressed in numeric terms?
The only thing I see is there is what about there are
I thought the principal ingredient in a food uses a (my keyboard lacks an accent) rather than de.
Hello,
I am just wondering why the "ne" is included in the above mentioned phrase "Je crains que vous ne conduisiez trop vite" whish is translated to "I am worried you are driving too fast"? I thought ne was meant to denote a negative, implying something more like "I am worried you are not driving too fast"?
What am I missing?
Thank you!

Sometimes it is okay to use pas and other times it is not. I am confused. I have answered both ways and get it wrong.
I love Hugo's brother!
My understanding is that some french proper names that start with H use H aspiré, so this should/could be:
J'adore le frère de Hugo
Does the possessive "de" override the H aspiré rule?
Here are some others that I believe use "H aspiré": Henri, Hubert, Héctor, Harry
Can you please clarify?
Thanks

Question: Elle va ________ Havre aujourd'hui.
She's going to Le Havre today.(HINT: Le Havre is a French city). I noted the Le was missing in the question so after writing au, as being masculine I knew this was the answer but not having Le in front confused me so I added it, making my answer 'au le'. Why was the Le missing. Was this an examiners deliberate deception?Find your French level for FREE
