Why not, « et qu'est-ce que vous voudriez boire avec ça ? »
Hi.
How come 'croire ses yeux' but 'faire les ongles'? I thought that it should be 'croire les yeux' as possessive pronouns should not be used for parts of the body.
Thanks

"So that I don't get sunburnt like last time" is "pour que je ne prenne pas de coups de soleil comme la dernière fois" in this exercise. I have two questions on alternative answers. Can we use avoir instead of prendre as the verb here, and is sunburn always plural or can we use it in the singular? (My answer was "pour que je n'aie pas de coup de soleil comme la dernière fois", but seems I was probably wrong on 2 counts?) Thanks.
The model text uses "ont fait transféré"—should that not be "ont fait transférer"? (As another thing, I don't think "saisi" should be translated into English as "seized" in this context: more like "informed" or "apprised".)
I thought the feminine of neuf was nouvelle, but it seems to be neuve. Can you explain please?
How do I add lesson pages and Kwiz answers to a notebook?
In the above question, the answer in the test shows “lui” but shouldn’t it be l’ since the verb starts with vowel?
Test question:
How would you say «This computer works the best»? Cet ordinateur marche ________.
The answer is given as mieux.
But the lesson says:
Use meilleure when qualifying something as good/better/the best at what it does, i.e. efficient/practical, or good/better/the best in taste (food):
Quel est le meilleur aspirateur?Which is the best vacuum cleaner?
Why is it right for a vacuum, but wrong for a computer?
We say “j’aime le chocolat” (in general) or “j’ai mangé du chocolat” (a quantity). So I thought the translation for “we tasted sausage rougails with yellow rice” might be “nous avons goûté DES rougails”, but the answer was “nous avons goûté LES rougails”. I thought it would follow the same logic as the accompanying yellow rice, “… avec du riz jaune”. But my reasoning is obviously not quite correct. Can someone please explain why “les” and not “des” for the rougails?
