It may just be me but the lesson on Tout is a good example of what I find confusing about some (otherwise crisp and excellent) Kwiziq lessons: it’s not always clear what the green rule is referring to. Sometimes it comes before the examples, sometimes after (eg tout + adverb here). Sometimes it flips multiple times in the same lesson. It may be better to connect the red and green lines so they form a bracket around each formalism. I get that would require quit a lot of editing of existing lessons. Perhaps we could crowdsource that if you open the platform.
Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."
Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)
In the 5th segment of the dialogue, the text reads:
"- Je voudrais une boule à la vanille, une boule au chocolat et une boule à la fraise s'il vous plaît."
But the audio says:
" - Je voudrais une boule à la vanille, et(?) une boule au chocolat et une boule à la fraise s'il vous plaît." I'm not sure if that word is actually "et" as it almost sounds like "y a", as though somebody is saying "il y a" too fast.
This is in both the lesson and the end-of-lesson full text.
Chers amis,
Please clarify my doubt. Mon école est à côté des appartements or Mon école est à côté d'appartements
Which one is right? does de gets contracted to des or changes to d' as appartements starts with a vowel.
Thanks in advance.
This could be interpreted as "Did you clean it LIKE I had asked you?" The question is ambiguous.
May have found a missing translation. I put "j'ai choisi de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme. Maron !" and was marked wrong, but "j'ai décidé de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" and "j'ai choisi de finir la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" are accepted translations.
Should it not be 'quittée' as it was the mother who did the leaving ?

Could someone please clarify the rule for choosing between à laquelle and de laquelle in a sentence such as:
"The girl I'm thinking of is Isabelle." : La fille ________ je pense est Isabelle. "
I understand that they both translate "about/of whom" but they are not interchangeable.
Thanks in advance!

The question, "We come from Texas=Nous venons du Texas. How do I know which counties or regions or states are masculine. For example: We come from 'Alabama'. Is this masculine or feminine?
Merci!
John
Hello, how is the word ‘fence’ spelt in French? I wrote clôture and was marked wrong.
Cheers :)
