Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns."
Isn't saying "Il fait du soleil" saying 'it is sunny?' Sunny being an adjective?
The sentence given in English is "Go to bed!" Why isn't it simply "to bed!" to avoid confusing it with "va te coucher!" which is marked as "wrong"?
In this context, can we say "...mon père et moi (nous) nous en allions en weekend ensemble." ?
Dear Sir or Madame: The last line lists "quatre cent variétés de fromage français." Why is it quatre cent vs. quatre cents? The lesson on large numbers would lead me to believe this should be plural. Also, how would I write out this question as posed in French?
I hear a different word before the word belle in the last sentence. The text states the word as aussi. I hear either plus or tout. Do you agree?
Why is "I've seen the neighborhood evolve" translated passé composé instead of imparfait? "I've seen" describes something that happens over time and is not ended, it's continuous and I'm not done seeing. Isn't that the case for imparfait?
Did there not used to be a button to 'TRY THIS EXERCISE AGAIN'? I like to repeat these writing tasks several times to reinforce new vocabulary and expressions. When I go to the button TAKE ANOTHER WRITING EXERCISE I then have to search the exercise again out the whole list of writing exercises... quite time consuming
Are there times when you say "de les" instead of des? For example, in this sentence ... Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher de les manger versus Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher des manger??? Thanks for any feedback.
While I did use "elle est aussi restée avec moi dimanche" could you use "elle m'est aussi restée dimanche" ?
The speaker sounds like he is pronouncing the 't' in 'ecart', which should be silent. It almost sounds as if he is saying: "Ils ont cinq ans d'equatre".
When I listened to the word "ecart" in the Collins online dictionary it had the correct pronunciation with the 't' being silent.
Otherwise, I enjoyed this exercise and learned a new word: "ecart". And, now, I don't think I will easily forget it either!
