Bonsoir,

I'd like to know if the lack of the "ne explétif" is considered a grammar mistake or if it is optional in writing in the cases where it's supposed to be used when the verb is in the negative form.

Thanks in advance.

In the end-of-lesson full text to read and listen to the first sentence of the text reads "J'adore habiter au..." but the audio says "J'aime habiter dans la...".

Bonjour,

Is this sentence correct: je ne cours pas du tout pour faire du sport? When to add the pour+infinitif? Example, when you add pour in the example above: Pauline ne veut pas du tout pour dormir -> will mean the same thing as without pour, won't it?

Appreciate all the help! 

Merci :)

To make the distinction clearer between the 1st and 2nd examples at the start of this lesson, instead of the translation, 'I don't care about the other options'  you may wish to add 'THE other'

I can't understand that..really i'm unable to understand..please help me..because next year i'm doing A/L

In the fill-in-the-blank test "Choisir un cadeau", in which one chooses either connaître or savoir (conjugated), two sentences don't fit into the scheme "savoir if clause with conjugated verb or with following infinitive" v. "connaître if followed by noun". These sentences are:

"Ah, c'est bon à _____!"  and "Ça, je ne ______ pas!"

The answers for both were savoir and sais. Why?

'Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'avais surprise.'

Would it also be correct to use the perfect tense: 'Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'ai surprise.'?

Dans la dictée À la laverie automatique, je crois qu'il y a une erreur. Laëtitia parle et elle dit :- Je suis sûre.... mais dans le texte, vous avez écrit "sûr". Comme elle est une femme, j'ai écrit "sûre" et on m'a corrigée.
