Unanswered questions and scoring.I understood that marks are not deducted for unanswered questions. However, I made no errors in a test but had 2 unanswered questions (1 in error) and I was deducted 0.6%. I should be working on B1 and B2 but because I am only 2% short of 100% in A1, I have been determined to achieve that level. Over time, I have done 12 tests with lots of ups and downs and am no nearer reaching 100%. It is much easier to progress at B1 and B2 than it is at A1!! Bien cordialement, Beverley

Je me suis fait brosser les cheveux. Comment ça se fait que la réponse soit dans le troisième personne singulier et ne pas dans la première personne singulier? J'ai écrit < Je me suis fais brosser les cheveux. J'ai dû manquer quelque chose. J'ai lu la leçon et je l'ai relu. Je ne peux pas le comprendre.

Why "bien" is used to describe certain nouns (instead of an adjective).....When one is expressing satisfaction with something, "bien" is used. Ce film est bien.... C'est bien, je suis heureuse avec cela.

How you ask 'have you had a good day?' Could you say 'avez-vous passé bonne journée?'
