During the exercise we see “ognon” instead of “oignon”, although this mistake is not present in the consolidated block of text at the end of the exercise. Here’s a copy/paste of the line during the exercise: “et mélangez-la avec l'ognon et l'ail finement hachés”
Est-ce que les français emploient souvent des mots comme "petit" devant quand. Par exemple, pourrais-je écrire "Saoul, quand j'ai bu trop de vin, je ne me sens pas bien"
How do I share my results with a teacher?
Hi - Could someone explain to me why the line "he told me that he needed a new raincoat" is translated into French without the adjective "new"? (..il m'a dit qu'il avait besoin d'un imperméable). Thanks.
In the second to last sentence, the audio sounds like you've added the word "slash" right after the word "ça." This is not in the text I see here. I did the rest about a week ago - and don't recall if it was there or not! What does it mean? And how is it spelled?
I answered incorrectly "au haricot vert", and was wondering if the difference is audible? Though perhaps this is something to know context rather than hear.
The "preferred" translation indicates that their son fell asleep "a poings fermes," indicating that he was deeply asleep. I dispute this -- kids may fall asleep with their fists closed, but not tightly unless they are under severe stress. I would suggest that a better indication of deep sleep would be the other suggestion - "il dormait profondement." This is from years of watching a number of sleeping children -- mine and others'. Just a thought....
Why is it incorrect to use a definite/indefinite article? Le reveil, un reveil
