Hi, I thought that something in the past that continues to the present (and is still continuing) would take the imparfait, not the passé composé: Je voulais toujours essayer…

Can you use 'tandis que' instead of 'pendant que'?

Bonjour,

I was wondering about the sentence , please explain why this would not be ?

merci beaucoup

Martin

I have never saw the use of bicross before, but always VTT (vélo tout terrain). Is this a difference between written and spoken language or is it used along eachother? 

Thanks in advance 

The sentence to be translated:

Plus, his songs were extraordinarily varied…..

The correct answer:

De plus, ses chansons étaient si extraordinairement variées….

Why is si required here ? I left it out and was marked wrong.

Maintenant, il faut que nous attendions Noël !

Why does "épaisse" go before the noun? Is "couche épaisse" incorrect?

Can one also say 'dont les Celtes' in this situation?

^ for this sentence, the speaker in the recording is a female voice. Wouldn't it be nouvelle if a woman is speaking?
