Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆

when to use an article with a country

Even though the verb se moquer is reflexive, why don't you say me moquer if someone is mocking me, instead of se moquer as one test question has it?

is translated above as:

I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes

I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.

I must admit I often find the 'short lessons' on here a little confusing because of the coloured lines. This one is particularly bad. I cannot see if the text with green lines is supposed to relate to the text with orange lines above it or below it. Essentially, why are the coloured lines there? They only confuse. Marking explanations with one colour and examples with another is pointless; we can see what is what. What we cannot see is what pertains to what. It would be fine if you gave some examples with red lines then an explanation also with a red line, so we know it refers to the 'red lined' examples. Then, further examples with a different colour together with an explanation with the same colour. This way we know what refers to what.

In the question "Nous ________ les cheveux.” (We brushed our hair) (HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) in the compound past (Passé Composé)), why is “nous sommes brossé” preferred over “nous sommes brossés”?

I think that “we” is plural, so the correct response should be “brossés” with the “s”.

"... notre équipe allie savoir-faire professionnel et pédagogie bienveillante."  Why no definite articles for savoir-faire and pédagogie ?   Is this simply the result of the informality of an advertisement?  Thanks.

Please remove historic past questions from my study plan. I’m not I retested in these

Salut, 

pourquoi vous donnez "empiler des blocs (jouet)" quand le meilleure réponse est "cubes"?

Merci

Hi, i've noticed in some sentences like 'Demain, on doit se lever tôt' they use Lever instead of Leve, when should i be using Lever.
