I have a question about the number one in front of larger numbers. Is One hundred million written ‘un cent milliards’, ‘une cent milliards’ or ‘cent milliards’

would 'j'ai achete pour ma mere un weekend' be correct ? ( cant do the accents )

Hello,

I'd like to know why the C1 quizzes focus so extensively on the Passé Simple. The tense is never used in speaking, (except perhaps in a stilted academic discourse), and is encountered primarily when reading. 

For example, on a recent C1 quiz, seven of the ten questions were on the Passé Simple. I'd rather have my quizzes focus more on idiomatic expressions. Instead, the passé simple questions come up over and over again, even when I score a perfect "10" on a given quiz.

Thanks,

Greg

I translated this as 'continue à inspirer'

Could you explain when to use 'continuer de' and when to use 'continuer à'?

Merci

Ça fait 156e was said too quickly.

Are there any Listening Exercises to practice numbers?

Please help for the following : 

What are the differences between these two sentences

1) Il habite à dix minutes de Marseille. 

2) Il habite à 10 min de Marseille. 

My answer was the number one, but the Kwiziq marked it wrong. 

Thank you!

Is it acceptable to say 'nuits hivernales' here?

Dans cette example : " C'est le vin le plus sec que l'on puisse trouver ", pourquoi on dit " que l'on " mais pas " qu'on " ?

Est ce que la france va pouvoir gagner la coupe du monde sans Mbape?
