The object will be singular following a negation. In this case the object is the `sa collection. But a collection is inherently plural ins de jardin rather than nain de jardin. but why is the collection de nains and not des nains?
How can you differentiate the story from history ie. l’histoire. was marked as incorrect but I think it could have been either
Bonjour!
Doesn't femme have two meanings: 'wife' and 'woman'? When should we use them in a sentence?
Thanks and regards
Liza
I thought it was "de grosse douleur" - singular - and can't think of any way of being able to hear whether it was singular or plurial. Does it have to be plural because the gums are plural? In English we could say "pain in my gums", but in French perhaps it's necessary to say "pains in my gums"? Or would "ce qui me causait de grosse douleur dans les gencives" still be correct?
[By the way - there's a typo in the full text - "genvices" for "gencives"...]
Hi,
I read from a text book that I use (Inspire B1) and it says to conjugate Je/Tu/Il/Elle/On/Ils/Elles we do as what is described in this lesson.
However, for "Nous" and "Vous", the general rule is that we take the "Présent" form of "Vous", remove the "ez" ending and replace it with "ions" and "iez". I check with verbs such as "Prendre" and "Mouvoir" and it is correct.
Can anyone verify this ?
After a listening or writing practice, I check the Q&A. Sometimes there is a discussion that I find I want to revisit later. How can I get to the Q&A for a lesson without re-doing the lesson? Also, how can I find questions I have previously posted?

I was asked to fill in the blank for the sentence, "After he said that, he left," where the conjugation of dire was missing. I had been asked so much lately about passé simple that I used simply dit, when a dit was expected. I was marked wrong for that.
But isn't it also correct, although unexpected? Or is it just that a native speaker would never do that for such a simple sentence, so it should be discouraged?
Why is "I had to read a poem" given the imperfect here? The lesson flagged under the answer (Using "devoir" in the imperfect tense versus the compound past in French (L'Imparfait vs Le Passé Composé)) suggests it should be passé composé, since it refers to an obligation that was completed.
