Why are they skipping words?
Salut! Pourquoi vous donnez le mot "faible" quand le reponse que vous voulez est basse? Thanks
Oh la, la! 1 200 variétés! Quel préférer-toi?
Auparavant, Paul et Cecile connaissent la raison de l'utilisation du subjonctif. J'ai cherché la bibliothèque de Kwiziq en ce qui concerne le mot meilleur et le subjonctif mais je n'ai rien trouvé. Est-ce que vous pouvez en élaborer ?

Every once in a while someone asks about punctuation. I try to be a stickler on punctuation in English and must admit I don't understand the punctuation used in Kwiziq. For example, why is there a comma in the sentence beginning Sa beauté and not in the sentence beginning with La reine? And, also, shouldn't it be: Il était, une fois dans une contrée lointaine, une ....?
To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."
Taking Maarten’s sentence as a starting point “When 'on' can be replaced by the specific subject pronoun 'nous', adjectives agree with number and are therefore plural (only the past participle/adjective, not the auxiliary verb conjugation).”
My question is, assuming that we have decided to indeed follow the agreement rule, if the specific group that “on” refers to were all female, would the sentence then be “On était éberluées”? I.e. does the gender get reflected in the adjective in the same way that it would if we used “nous” and the group were all female (“nous étions éberluées”).
Please explain when to use tout and when to use tous.
How come there's no "la" in front of Guadeloupe?
