Isn't there a commonly used or a popular option from the 2 duplicates? Maybe a little asterisk could go a long way for newbies like me :)
I haven't touched french in three years, and when I try to test the AO stuff again, It throws in C1 stuff I haven't seen since 2019, and it's a little humiliating to get all of the other stuff right, but still watch my scores plummet because I didn't remember how to conjugate the imparfait on my "Introducing yourself" Quiz.
Sometimes the answers were written as numbers (4h45) and at other times in words (cinq heures moins le quart). The full text uses all words. Are words really more common for stating times?
The text reads:
6La maison nous avons louée n'a pas d'air conditionné. (The house we rented doesn't have air conditioning.)The modern word is la climatization or, in short, la clime. You might to rewrite this question asThe lesson states:
Notice that whereas with ne ... pas (not), pas could only be placed after the auxiliary verb (être or avoir) in compound tenses. See Using 'ne ... pas' with compound tenses (negation).
The restrictive que in ne ... que can be placed either after the auxiliary verb, or in front of the word it's restricting. You should place que in front of the word you restrict.
The above needs to be reformulated as "Notice that whereas with......................................, the restrictive que in ne....que....................
The writer leaves the poor reader hanging with the current punctuation. Whereas needs a second clause in the same sentence separated with a happy comma.
Not a huge issue of course, but I had to read this several times to understand the meaning. The fix is quick as noted above.
Is it better to say "améliorer" or "s'améliorer" as in "je peux améliorer" or "je peux s'améliorer".
The quiz asks 'Je prends cette rue ................ panneau stop. I supplied malgré du which was marked wrong with en dépit du given as correct. Why is malgré du wrong?
