There were several alternate answers to 'I was taking an exam this morning' and they all used the word 'un exam' But in the full text presented at the end, it became 'un examen'. I have noticed this sort of disagreement every once in a while.
Thanks, Jack
PS. The writing exercises are extremely helpful !
A test question under this topic was "La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes." However I am not sure why the grammar is "est de plus de..." instead of "est plus de..." The translation, "is more than..." doesn't indicate the need of an extra "de".
soir vs soiree
I don't know if there are any more. Thank you in advance!
How do I put the accents with my laptop. I can do it with my I phone but I don't know how to do it with my computer
I note that there are quests in the past to improve the content of this lesson and I am unsure whether any modifications have been made but it is still difficult to determine when devoir is an appropriate answer as well as avoid besoin de and avoir envie de. Is it that there is an infinitive following if so why only devoir and not avoir envie de as in the case of needing to buy a handbag? Surely it could be made clearer - google is not a reasonable guide and I want to understand!
Why sometimes in passé composé the conjugated verbs in plural end with '' s '' and sometimes don't end with an '' s ''.
Ex: '' Elles sont devenues méchantes à cause de toi.''
Ex: '' Ils ont vendu (vendre) des croissants dans la rue.''
When to put an '' s ''?
Thanks in advance :)
Hi, I filled in the blanc with "professions" but got the red "wrong answer"?
Love your lessons!

Hello
I was wondering if there was a lesson on the verb devoir because I'm not seeing it.
Thanks
