So, the lesson on combining nouns says to use some form of à when describing a taste and the lesson gives the example of "glace à la vanille." That seems consistent with my memory of "pain au chocolat." So why is it "les œufs en chocolat" and not "au chocolat"? Thanks.
Should "Montre-moi les mains!" really be considered wrong? I understand you put that in this lesson as an example of reducing ambiguity, with "tes mains", but I definitely don't see it as something to be taken as a wrong answer in a quiz.
If I'm correct, we do the exact same thing in Spanish, and both "Muéstrame tus manos" y "Muéstrame las manos" would be correct. There is no ambiguity whatsoever (i.e. no sane person would wonder whose hands we're asking the person to show). Is it really really different in French?
I mean, it is one thing to try to get students to answer what you taught them, and a very different thing to reject right answers (especially when this very same lesson covers using definite articles for this).
In the example “il se fatigua vite mais ils ne fatiguèrent qu’à la fin de la journée” is there a reason why the verb is reflexive in the first phrase, but not in the second?
How many questions are there per each lesson in the quiz bank?
can we use the" N'est-ce pas un livre" in order to ask a negative question? or do we have to use just "est-que" at the begining of the question? Thank you so much
n'est-ce pas un livre? is that true?
I wish your helps
Is there a difference between using
etre a + moi/toi/lui/...
and
possessive pronous?
Or could they be used interchangeably? Are there certain situations in which one would be better than the other?
For example:
Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les siennes.
Those sunglasses are not his.Would it also be appropriate to say: Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas à eux.It would be good for this useful piece of information to have a link to a list of such verbs.
Pardon for asking, but it states 'Elizabeth deux vient en France' in one of the Minikwizes for this lesson. I'm assuming she WENT to France, not came from [ in ? ] France. It makes no sense to me, but, to be honest, I had to do the country preposition lessons so many times it wasn't even funny. Perhaps I am being stupid, or perhaps I am just railing against my own inadequacies, but, To you I pose this question good sir or madame.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am wondering if two sentences below are correct. Please assist. I would appreciate your help.
1. Nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux.
2. Vous vous êtes rasés ce matin?
Faithfully,
Viacheslav
