I think this link accords with the current lesson.
This isn't really related to the lesson itself, but in the little quiz under the lesson, for "Je l'aime bien qu'il soit un peu paresseux." the answer was "I love him although he's a bit lazy." (which I answered correctly so no questions on "bien que") but isn't "aimer bien" is closer to "like" than "love" as taught in your lesson about this verb?
Looking at the answers tells me that this was an exercise about ‘faire mal’ and ‘faire du mal’ but my use of the verb ‘blesser’ was correct. Wasn’t it? Maybe I shouldn’t use blesser in this context. Correction welcome.
One of the quizzes has a sentence: La Castafiore faints (s'évanouir) all the time.
This question is totally unrelated to reflexive verbs, but I can't figure out what La Castafiore is. Can you give a little history on this noun, please? I enjoy picking up a little non-grammar knowledge from time to time. Thanks.
I would suggest that this exercise be set at a higher level. I don't believe this is pegged right for an A1 learner. Perhaps A2 would be better.
HI,
I have been reading the responses to the questions below. Am I correct to assume that the way to use the indefinite articles with negation is if it's a general statement?
For example.
J'aime ni le café ni le thé
Je veux ni fromage ni oignon
Merci
Nicole
tu as fait decorer is clearly being done for the subject, but as its not reflexive I assumed they did the decorating themselves?
I understand this is plus que parfait, but shouldn't it be avait fait? Why is there an e here?
The answer " en dernier septembre " given. The durations mentioned in this lesson does not put the "duration" in front of the proper noun. Why? is this a mistake!
Dans la phrase "C'est plus compliqué qu'il n'y paraît.." est-ce que "il n'y parait" est une expression ?
