These answers are bedevilled by poor English translations. Certain, in English, means either a particular one, or that one is sure of something. There is nothing vague about it, but your definition of 'certain' in the pre-noun position you say implies a vagueness, and yet the answer to the question is keith likes a certain (particular) man - unless you mean he likes all men who are sure about things? If you could avoid using the word 'certain' in your english translations that might be helpful.
The lesson indicateed Don't be afraid as "N'aie pas peur" but in test this was not accepted, only "N"ayez pas peur"

hi,
I took the test and i understand that Switzerland is feminine but why is there a masculine pronoun ils at the beginning? ils detesent la suisse. Shouldn't it be elles not ils?
thanks

I thought the feminine of neuf was nouvelle, but it seems to be neuve. Can you explain please?
The answer to Martin likes Sarah is marked differently in different tests:
1) Martin aime Sarah
2) Martin aime bien Sarah
Please explain. Jane
en ce moment, il neige dans ma petite ville et une croisière sur la Seine, en été, semble très agréable.
Bonjour Kwiziq!!! Je m'appelle Trung et je viens de DongNai au VietNam.
This test question required the correct definition: 'Elle aura pu finir son travail' and I put 'She will have been able to finish her work'. But the correct answer is 'She will be able to finish her work'. I'm a bit confused (as ever) because above is an example - 'Tu auras pu chanter sur scène' which translates as 'You will have been able to sing on stage'. So is it will have been or will be able? Help!
