This link says that an Indirect Object Pronoun can also be introduced by the preposition pour (for). But I can find only examples with preposition ' à (to)' ...Can you please share a few examples of Indirect Object Pronouns with preposition pour; can't find them in this lesson and other Indirect Object related lessons.
Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?
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".)
In the above sentence, why is the correct answer "moins d'énergie que" and not "moins d'énergie que de"? I added the "de" based on this rule: "When expressing there are more/fewer/as many-much [thing/s] than/as [other thing/s], you need to add de after que".
In the quiz, one of the question was translating ''Nous ne sommes pas arrivés depuis longtemps.''
I selected "We din't arrive for long" which is marked wrong.
The right answer was "We haven't been there long". Doesn't this sentence mean "we have just arrived"?
If so, in the lesson, Ne ... pas + Passé composé + depuis longtemps = not in a long time.
Aren't these contradicting. Can someone explain or clarify please. Thanks.
I have noted in another post recently that it is a frustration, annoyance even, to come to a lesson, struggle with a concept, and then find the same question arising often in Q and A. The Q&A section is often very long, and repetitive with a mix of highly relevant and less relevant comments (like this one in this section perhaps? - shrug), and reading all the way through it after every section, is not the most efficient use of study time. I suggest that when the urge arises to write in response to a question anything along the lines of 'this has been asked and answered before', that should signal the need for the question/answer to be directly addressed in the lesson - initially an addendum tagged in at the end of the lesson, but subsequently properly incorporated, for example. This is presented as an opportunity for improvement rather than just a criticism - as the end product will be much better lessons. Others may have other suggestions to address this and improve further.
Can qui be used instead of ce qui in the sentence
ce qui lui donnait les joues une douce teinte rosée
