French language Q&A Forum

My computer is not allowing me to type the cedilla. So I am getting all these wrong!

Il ne s’occupe jamais de rien

What is the rule that requires either de or à, as seen in the above sentences?

I am a tactile learner and do better writing these dictées by hand. Is it possible to do the grading (does the grading contribute to the dashboard, even?) by hand and enter the score? The language clicks better in my head writing manually vs typing and I don't want to write and then transcribe into the system. Is there also a way to simply see the transcript without going phrase by phrase?

Salut,

I'm with Frank C. and Justin H. The "Helene" hint must be a mistake, as it doesn't seem to apply to the narrative.

I was also thrown off a bit by the hint to use the masculine form for "designers". I used "stylistes" which is both masc. and fem., as are the terms "designer" and "modeliste". However, "createur/creatrice" and "couturier/couturiere" do have the different masc. and fem forms.

Otherwise, a fun exercise and I learned a new expression: "un leger vent de panique". 

Bonne Continuation

I can't seem to differentiate these two. Please make me understand.

The first time I did this exercise, I wrote "Je vais etre beau et elegant !" Then, I changed it to: "Je vais avoir l'air beau et elegant !", which was marked wrong. Wouldn't the use of the phrase, "avoir l'air" also be correct in this situation?

Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation !

The second hint through me off a bit.  As I recall it was something about paying attention to Hélène, which I interpreted as to pay attention to a feminine agreement,.  This caused me to change my initial idea of using passer as "j’ai passé" to instead use the reflexive se passer as in "je me suis passée".  I am easily swayed.

Please could someone explain why "d'" is used? Why isn't it: et une belle enveloppe decoree? (Please forgive lack of accents within decoree)

Hi,

I really enjoy learning but there is one aspect I didn't quite understand. If I have choosen my own adventure, how do I go back? 

For example, I "finished" A0 and have an A1 score of about 70%. If I now take an A0 quiz, kwizbot will fill my studyplan with A0-lections. 

How can I tell quizbot to evaluate my learning progress and continue to help me progress on my actual level? 

Best regards

Martin
