Ma Larousse dit que échelle est féminine.
ceci ou cela Doesn't celui-ci ou celui-la mean the same thing, this or that ?
I'm curious about why there's always a question about coudre, moudre and hair in the C1 tests. I understand that they're irregular and need to be learnt, but the questions are always in the present tense, and it seems pretty straightforward for C1. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to make them e.g. A2, and include a wider range of irregular verbs? I feel there are other questions that would be more appropriate and useful for C1.
Not complaining :-), just curious.
Could you explain why the English "Yes, I agree with you." would be translated to the French "Oui, j'accorde avec toi."? I would have thought it would be "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi" and even Google Translate renders it that way. Not that I am saying Google Translate is authoritative, but I don't really recall "j'accorde" even being in that lesson. But I will go back and look for it again. Thanks.
(Added a couple of minutes later: I did another quiz and this time it agreed with my "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi".)
Je me rappelle la réponse avant que lire la réponse de Maarten.
J'ai eu un question de échelle. Ma dictionnaire dit que le mot est feminine, mais l'exercise a mon échelle. Mais, maintenant je comprends; échelle commence avec une voyelle, et donc on utilize mon et pas ma.
I was also thrown by this sentence because at first sight it contains the phrase "bien entendu". I guess the "bien" is qualifying "j’ai entendu parler", but does it mean something more than just "J'avais entendu parler de ce nouveau poste" ?
il y a tres peu de reponses correctes apres les questions---un mystere?
