In this exercise "C'est pour ma petite amie." was accepted as correct but "C'est pour ma copine." was not shown as another possible answer, even though that's the sentence given in "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to:". The system also accepted "les cardigans", as correct but shows "les gilets" in the final text, even though that was not given as another possible answer. The system accepted both instances as correct when I entered "un cardigan de lain" & "le cardigan de lain" but shows "un gilet en laine" & "le gilet en laine" in the final text, which is even more confusing having the masculine articles "un" & "le" with the feminine(?) adjective laine. The first time I did the exercise when I entered "C'est très difficile de choisir", "difficile" was highlighted as incorrect & "C'est très dur de choisir" was given as the correct answer. The second time "difficile" was accepted & "dur" was given as another possible answer. I don't remember if "à fleurs" was given as another possible answer to florale, but I'm guessing they're synonymous. J'ai mal à la tête.
Am I missing something?
In number 6, I submitted the phrase “pour fabriquer des” and it was corrected to “pour fabrique les,” but in the paragraph above it contradicts that correction. Which is right?
I have come across the following sentence in a novel that I’m reading: ‘On avait laissé dans un coin une applique allumée, parce que la lumière des bougies eût été insuffisante.’ I would like to know why the subjunctive is being used here, because I have always been told that parce que is followed by the indicative. The novel in question dates from the late 1940s, so it’s not a very archaic usage.
What? We'd agreed to see each other next Saturday!
Hein? On était convenus de se voir samedi prochain !
Why isn't était d'accord an option?
Hein? On était convenus de se voir samedi prochain
Why is être d'accord not a possibility?
she would always bring three or four big novels with her.
elle emportait toujours trois ou quatre gros romans avec elle.
I thought emporter was to take something and apporter was to bring something?
Wordrefence translates “to cast a spell on” as “Jeter un sort à”. You have translated it as “Jeter un sort sur” nb “elles jettent des sorts sur”. Are both correct or is only one correct and if so, which one?
I thought that to use the j’ that the silent “h” would be eliminated and if the “h” is not eliminated then it’s Je smh🤦🏽♀️
Why 'rôdaient' in 3'd p plural ? Doesn't rôder refer to "le bruit" in singular, not ´les âmes’?
I wrote mon délicieux 'gratin dauphinois'. why was it marked incorrect?
