Is it absolutely wrong to use est-ce que to form a question using names? Thanks.
The test answers are inconsistent; sometimes dix is changed to 10 and minutes to min and heurs to h. And sometimes not! IMHO if it is written as a word in the question then it should be written as a word in the answer ie ten = dix and hours = heurs.
Bonjour
Why is anime not correct? What is the difference in use of anime with respect to vivant?
Merci
The film was released in 2002 = Le film est sorti en 2002. Classic passé composé. But I'm trying to understand the usage of plus que parfait. What does it mean if you say "Le film était sorti en 2002?"' Is that the film had been released?
A quick English correction, but in this sentence -
dans + [article] + [noun] is used to refer to a actual, physical place = in the/a/his ...It should say 'an actual' instead of 'a actual'
It is very disappointing that this lesson does not appear to have been modified to deal with the poor distinction over when to use le/la/l'/le with ne. ni. ni. The lesson clearly states "When using ni, you omit the article after ni, unless you're talking about general things and using le, la, l', les."
Yet much of the discussion here has suggested the article should be used for the specific rather than the general. Better and more examples of when and how to use articles are needed - yet this has clearly been an issue for years.
Hi, I notice you can use "better" for feelings but what about for smell? How would you say, "It smells better"? Thank you!!!
When I have done well on a quiz, there is often a comment regarding what I have "won". "Someone won something!" or, " Look at all you've won!" I was just wondering what am I winning or what have I won, and where is it being kept?
