I am a premium subscriber. Why can't I take Kwizes more often than weekly or longer?
I'm noticing that most verb tenses in this passage are in the present tense. I'm wondering if there's a general rule about when to use the present versus the future tense in this kind of historical account. I see one sentence that says "Plus tard, elle aura son diplome en sciences physiques..." Given that the sentence starts with "plus tard," it makes sense to me that the following verb is in the future tense, but later in the passage I'm seeing "Plus tard, en 1911, Marie recoit le Prix Nobel..." In this case "plus tard" is followed by the present tense. I'm wondering if the choice of tense is stylistic or if there is a subtle difference in meaning or how does one decide which tense is appropriate? Thanks in advance for your help!
Pourquoi est-ce que la ponctuation ne fait-elle pas partie de la dictée?
I feel like pendant que could be used here instead of tandis que, since we’re talking about a temporal situation. Why is pendant que not given as a possible translation ?
Also, what is the KwizIQ team’s commitment to responding to questions on the weekend workouts? They haven’t seemed very responsive lately.
I don't understand what the difference is exactly between nous and on
For example: Je nettoie la vitre de la voiture - J'en nettoie la vitre
