One of the translations in the quiz was 'Everybody wants to do their best'. This may be in common usage now but correctly, I think, it should be 'his/her' best. Here 'everybody' is singular hence the singular verb 'wants', so the pronoun needs to correspond to the noun as well as the verb.
Isn’t the character who marries Cosette called, ‘Marius’ and not, ‘Marcus’? :-)
Hi, I am confused as to when to pronounce the t in vingt, for example, in vingt-deux, vingt-cinq? In some videos and sites I hear them pronounce it, in some I don't. So when do we exactly? Or are both acceptable?
what is conjugation of irregular verbs in l'imperatif
I understand the lesson pretty well, but a question on pronunciation. Is the audio correct when it pronounces the sentence "J'attends plus de mes parents" with "plus" as [plu] instead of [plus]? It seems like this could be confusing in spoken French, in that it might be mistaken for "Je [n']attends plus de mes parents," but maybe the "de" makes it obvious that this is not a ne...plus construction where the "ne" is simply dropped/implied? (Maybe there's a lesson focusing on the pronunciation of "plus," but I've not seen it yet.)
I love how the audio has a female voice saying each of the feminine nouns, and a male voice for the masculine ones. I expect that actually will help us to remember the gender for these listed body parts if we play it a few times -- thank you!
Thought “dans” was used when it is an event in the future???? Am I wrong to assume this???
Qu'est-ce que sont les mots pour "winery" et "winemaker"?
