Négatif formeBonjour,

J'ai écrit "Je n'ai pas de monnaie exacte".

Je pense que on doit utiliser "DE" au lien de "LE, LA, LES" si il est en forme de négatif, non?

Merci

Vocabulary from Guadeloupe's Carnival

La parade is used as translation for the parade. Is using le defile (sorry, can't get the accent aigu on the e's) incorrect? I don't even see it as an option in any of the possible translations listed.

French for 'dining table'

The exercise recommends the translation 'table du dîner'.

Is it not more often spoken of as a 'table de dîner' ?

Direct object Pronouns?

« Elle me rappelle Paula. » - She reminds me of Paula.

What would happen if you wanted to replace Paula with a pronoun? -> She reminds me of her.

Is it? - « Elle me lui rappelle. » or « Elle me la rappelle. »

Can you still not say in any context « Elle me rappelle de lui? » (De being forbidden)

Scoring determination?

How does the scoring work on these exercises. I know i got several things wrong, but I would have thought it was better than 1 out of 75. Please advise.

Cléfs or clés ?

My answer of clés was corrected to cléfs. Is that correct?

Also in the phrase: Tu as apporté la monnaie que j'avais mise de côté exprès ?

I can't hear "avais" pronounced, is it just me mishearing?
