Elle ne le fait pas, bien qu'elle le puisse.
Why is it "bien qu'elle le puisse" and not "bien qu'elle puisse"?
to me it sounds like
La planète mérite bien cet effort
According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school."
When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à).
Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated.
why do i not pronounce s in tu vas au travaille :(
One thing I had a problem with in this dictation was the reference to 'tu'. Who's she talking to? If this was made clearer in the intro or title, it might help a bit?
Why is 'Anna' immediately followed by 'elle' ?
This was a very interesting lesson to me that appeared in my dashboard but I have always believed that in daily life the subjonctif passé would not be used. Is this a question of educational level or are there simpler ways to express the same sentiments?
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.
does participe passé agree with direct object when "on" is the subject of the passive sentence.
for example on l'a regardée (she was watched)(la is feminin article)
ı wish your helps thanks
Martin hasn't been here for long
This suggests Martin is still here, thus the present tense should be used. Given answer is-Martin n'est pas arrivé depuis longtemps.
Compare this with the previous question:
We haven't lived here very long- Nous n'habitons pas ici depuis longtemps.
Have I mis-understood something?
