I did not understand the differences in how "to take care of" translates into french?
Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir dire "primordial" ? Peut-être devrait-il être "prééminent", par exemple. 'Primordial' suggère quelque chose qui existe depuis la nuit des temps, quelque chose d'assez primitif, dont aucun ne sonne juste dans ce contexte.
Is "au courant" invariable, or does it agree with the gender and number of the person?
Pour moi, question 8, on the 8th February 2023, Nous ne voyons personne» means : ....I put 'we never see anyone' which you have said is incorrect. In english We don't (do not) see anyone, can also mean 'we are particular who we see'. Is this the same in french for Nous ne voyons personne, if so why is it not clarified?
In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text. I can't remember exactly what they were but at the beginning it says "Pascal", like there were cues for the dialog that were being read as the dialog.
I was surprised to see the word "clore". It doesn't appear very often. When and how is it used?
I understand the grammar in this example...
Est-ce que tu sais marcher sur les mains ? - Non, je ne sais pas le faire.Do you know how to walk on your hands ? - No, I don't [know how to do that].But the lesson goes on to say...Note that in many such cases, you add the neutral verb faire to refer to an action.It would be good to have a bit more guidance on which cases require the addition of faire. Is it compulsory in some cases? Is there a rule?
Je pense que le mot critrouille est "pumpkin" en francais. je n'ai entendu pas de potirons?
