This exercise was way too fast to be B2 as advertised. Also, there is no way the speaker pronounces "auriz-vous." She is saying something else.
Is the distinction the same as in English, where "the coffee" is specific to a particular coffee in the current context? And "coffee" without the article is talking about coffee in general?
This explanation doesn't explain why sometimes one says 'L'hiver' and at other times, 'En hiver', and similar for other seasons. The examples given do not enlighten me much. I have always had trouble with this. At first I thought, oh, you use 'l'hiver' when you are going to say something describing a feature of 'hiver', and 'En hiver' when you want to say something happened during 'hiver', but then the other examples given in context of other seasons etc mostly described activities occurring during the season regardless of the 'en' or 'l'' beginning.
I need it stated explicitly what the rule is, there doesn't appear to be one.
Why is a sales ASSISTANT, referred to as vendeur? A salesperson ( un vendeur) is different than a subordinate salesperson assistant. I used the qualifying adjective and it was marked wrong.
After submitting my response, no correction page appeared and I was simply presented with the next phrase or sentence. As a result, I scored zero for my response. You can't go backwards. This happened twice during the exercise. On the second occurrence, I was particularly paying attention to not hitting the submit button a second time as I know this can cause skipping. I could not figure out how to send this to your technical team instead of bothering you.
Can you say 'd'après la célèbre comptine'?
Wrong: Personne n'
Correct: Aucune n'
Any Reason why?
Thank you for your help
Thanks, Jim & Chris:
Could you use the present participle? J'ai vu SS descendant(e?) d'une limo...
or would that require the english being: I saw her... 'getting out of' vs 'get out of' ? Or just be incorrect?
if ok, is it considered an adjective which needs to agree ? (with ss)
more examples using infinitive, please....
thanks again
Alexis
