I have a few questions relating to the B2 writing exercise "What Monster Would You Be" (which was great, BTW!):
without any memory of what I had done the night before.
Kwizbot's answer:
sans aucun souvenir de ce que j'aurais fait la nuit d'avant.
Your answer:
sans aucun souvenir de ce que j'avais fait la nuit d'avant
Question #1: Why is it the conditional perfect here and not the past perfect? The English says I had. Isn't that past perfect?
before reverting to normal the next morning,
Kwizbot's answer:
avant de redevenir normal le matin suivant,
Your answer:
avant que je ne redevienne normal le matin suivant,
Question #2: Why is my response here incorrect? Why do I need to use avant + infinitive instead of avant que + subjunctive? Is there a subtle difference in meaning?
I would know many magic spells
Kwizbot's answer:
Je connaitrais de nombreux sorts
Your answer:
Je connaîtrais beaucoup de sorts
Question#3: Why can't you use "beaucoup de" here? Is there a subtle difference in meaning between beacoup and nombreux? For example, does beaucoup mean "a lot" and nombreux "many"?
Merci d'avance de votre aide!
PS - I LOVE the writing challenges and find them the most helpful part of your app! I would LOVE it if the NEXT button were right under the self-rating system so I wouldn't have to scroll down over the grammar lessons links to get to it.
