French language Q&A Forum

I have an older Collins dictionary which uses the French word, poste, for shift in this context.  There are several other suggestions but the word, garde, is not even mentioned.  Should I get a new dictionary? 

What's the rationale for using 'jeunes maries' (sorry, doesn't do accent in the boxes) and not 'nouveaux maries' here? 

My point of view- its equivalent in english to say- I don't like anything but apples...if you put this in mind you will not get confused.  so it means you like only apples.

I have noticed that my scores, which once sat at 100% in all 6 levels, sometimes move backwards to, say, 99% without my having attempted a test at that level. I do not do the quizzes in the daily emails but I do do the weekly dictees and writing tests. Can these have effects on the dashboard level scores? Or does Kwiziq just knock off some points if it is has been a very long time since you did a test. Or could it be that I did a "Test recommended" and it threw in a test for a level that was already at 100%, even though I had another level that was at 99%?

the position of profondment 

is there a reason the s is kept at the end when normally dropped for an order- or just one of those things?

It is somewhat reassuring to find so many others have found this confusing! Hope it is reviewed soon. Needs clarification and simplification, and use of standard symbols to replace unspecified letters. I always do the lesson first and then check the comments - this is one of those that makes me think I should read the comments first. When can a review be expected?

Let me know if this is correct: in the passé composé, the past participle agrees with the direct object? The answer was "Tu les as vues" - the direct object was feminine plural - thus the -es to the past participle "vu." I experimented with Google translate, and this seems to be the rule but I haven't found it on Progress with Lawless French, so I wanted to double check.

The answer to #7 on the calendar is la neige but I answered une boule à neige (a snow globe) because that's what it looks like to me.
