Isn't there supposed to be a colon after the first phrase in "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to"? There's no punctuation to indicate that anything is supposed to follow. It's just hanging there. If this is supposed to be a heading that doesn't use punctuation shouldn't all the words except be capitalized?
The first time I did this exercise I used "tant de personnes" and it was marked as correct. The second time I did the same thing but it was marked as an error with "autant de personnes" being the only accepted phrase. I am struggling with this usage and difference in corrections. Thanks!
For the example, we are told "Ta viande" cannot be put into an "en," yet "mes problèmes" can. How come the possessive can be an "en" in one case and not the other?
Why is it in passé composé :
Tu n'as pas eu froid ?
and not imparfait :
Tu n'avait pas froid ?
- There are several comments asking about "for having done" vs "for doing". While they're both included in the lesson title and the lesson itself, maybe spell out a little more clearly that they will be translated the same way in French? Maybe include Chris W.'s point about the literary nature and lack of frequent use of the former?
- I find this note confusing: "Indeed, you can never use pour + [Infinitif] (i.e pour faire ça), the way you say for doing that in English!" There's no infinitive used in English. Perhaps delete the end of the sentence?
- You're missing a close paren: pour + Infinitif passé (= infinitive of auxiliary (être or avoir) + past participle
Thanks for your time and the work you do here - I've found this site to be super helpful.
Salut tout le monde. Pourquoi on utilise DE et pas DES?
Why does the agent shift to the future tense in the last few sentences of the exercise.?
It's a video for some song "Bouger", not "Briller" or "Golden"
Why is there an "s" at the end of déçus when the subject is singular?
I’m posting here because fill-in-the-blanks Kwizzes don’t have Q&A.
The last answer is: Dans ce cas, je vais appeler Bruno avant qu'il réserve le restaurant, et je n'ai plus qu'à espérer qu'il ait du temps plus tard !
I’m wondering why the "avoir" in "espérer qu’il ait du temps" is subjunctive, as espérer is usually followed by an indicative. Is it triggered by "je n’ai plus qu’à"? Or because it’s only possible that he’ll have time?
(Also, the Kwiz is headed Subjonctif présent and passé but all the answers are present tense)
