There were several alternate answers to 'I was taking an exam this morning' and they all used the word 'un exam' But in the full text presented at the end, it became 'un examen'. I have noticed this sort of disagreement every once in a while.
Thanks, Jack
PS. The writing exercises are extremely helpful !
Lesson says says que go before what the only is related to
. As he earned only 1000 I put que before 1000 but it is marked wrong. Please explain
Noting Joan's question previously (~1 year ago) and Cécile's response, I have to ask why «dehors» is/was not recognised as an option in place of «à l'extérieur». I know the usual - can't cover every possibility - reason. However, in practice (at least where I am currently in the east of France) «dedans» and «dehors» are far more commonly used to express inside or outside (the house), and à l'intérieur or à l'extérieur are rarely heard. Suggest this very common and applicable alternative should be recognised.
I really did not understand some of this. What does "Ainsi font, font, font" mean? Also, the meaning of "La taille courbée" and "le front penché". Finally, "s'en vont" confused me. Are they going somewhere? Help!
How can I post my own lessons on lawless french?
In the exercise, I completed the sentence "How come you speak French? with "Comment ça se fait que tu parles français?" The answer was marked incorrect - your corrected answer being "Comment se fait que tu parles français?" I didn't see "Comment se fait que" as a choice in the notebook explanation of How come? - although "Comment se fait-il que" was also an option when How come? is followed by a conjugated verb. Please explain. Merci!
Hi Céline, in your excellent response below, just checking that after 'que' je is needed (or implied). Otherwise , wouldn't qui be used?
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.
could someone explain for me like broken down what is the source of this so my brain can understand lol like ok im sorry this is hard to explain but for example "je" = i, "m'" = iop, "to me", "apelle"= je form of s'apeller. so like, what does each thing, "il," "y," and "a" mean? i think il is 3rd person singular so it works as "it?" and idk about the y and the "a" is 3rd person singular of avoir, "has"?
