"Pronunciation Note:
When plus has a negative meaning (no more), you never pronounce the final -s."Does that mean that the final -s is always pronounced if the meaning is positive? Is that how French people distinguish between 1) J'ai plus du temps and 2) J'ai plus de temps (where 2 is really Je n'ai plus de temps with the ne omitted as it often is in conversation). How do native French listeners tell the difference?
I had to complete the sentence "Nous ___ notre dernier concert" (We remember our last concert).
I filled in "nous souvenont de". It was however marked as incorrect, and the correct answer was "nous rappelons de".
I thought you could use both and my answer was regarded "better" (according to the lesson: "Se souvenir de is the slightly more sophisticated option to say you remember.")

Articulation is very poor in places, especially "et il n'y aura pas de jalouses " and "Papa, quand on aura fini la visite". I realize you're trying to provide a range of voices and accents, but it makes it really difficult to understand sometimes. A native French speaking friend listened to this and she really struggled to understand it.
What is the negative form of nous(manger)?
Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs.
Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip. Why the imparfait here? It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive. It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.
My question relates to "Kwiz functionality", rather than anything in this lesson. I could ask the same question in any other Lesson.
I prefer the 2-question Kwizzes to the 10-question Kwizzes.
If I try to repeat the same quiz, I get the message: "This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like."
That's fair enough.
I do:
- Go to Notebook
- Open this same lesson.
- (The URL is obviously different, but text is the same).
- Scroll down to the 2-question Kwiz
- I see the same negative message.
So, how do I "...kwiz this topic as many times as you like." ?
Thanks.
why is 'regarder' in the infinitive when the word is 'looked' which is in past tense? why isn't it 'regardé' ?
I don't understand why we use "j'en ai pour" ? What's the reason behind this?
Why doesn’t the past participle take an extra ‘s’ with ‘nous’. Isn’t there more than one person, like ‘ils’?
