Could you explain why one cannot say "On construit un beau château de sable" instead of using faire? Conceptually, making a sandcastle imeans, at least in English, constructing a sandcastle.
Why is "a busy weekend" spelled "un weekend" instead of "un week-end"? Is this a parisian vs Québec thing?
For the clause "and I'm talking to a talented painter." why is "Je parle à ..." incorrect? The exercise only accepts "avec" yet the English given was not "talking with," but "talking to."
In the second sentence "Elle est triste parce qu'elle a une larme sur la joue.", the Sebastien character pronounces the article "une" ooneh instead of oon. It sounds like he's saying une alarme. I've listened to that passage multiple times and I can hear it clear as a bell.
In the seventh sentence "Oui, elle a besoin d'une sieste !", the other character pronounces the article "une" as oon. There is a distinct difference between the two characters' pronunciations.
Is this a difference in dialects that one just has to adapt to and if so where is it most likely to be encountered? I could see this causing confusion.
Pourquoi « célèbre mets » mais « plat réconfortant » svp ?
1) pourquoi mets vs plat
2) pourquoi adjectif avant le nom vs adjectif après le nom
Allô
For this sentence:
Paul ne mange que de la purée.
Should we not remove the la for this sentence since it is a negative sentence? I thought the rule stays the same for all negative statements.
Merci
Here the answer can be "Je me sens bien". Bien also works in the black space. But when I selected it the quiz marked it wrong. The more irritating part is, there is literally no button given to report this error. Please have a look and help me out.
I am unclear about when to use each of these. I thought that the lesson notes indicated that they were interchangeable, but in a quiz question, se souvenir was marked as incorrect, and se rappler given. (We remember our last concert)
Why in the sentence "Claire habite à Paris." is the mute h clearly pronounced?
For an exercise, I wrote : avant que vous soyez fatigué
But it got marked as incorrect, the correct answer shown has a 'ne'.
I asked some french learners + Gemini AI and they all said that this isn’t required even in written French.
Could someone help me clarify this?
