So the question was:
How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?
1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.
2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.
3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.
4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.
So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1, but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2.
What gives?
Where is the Eu coming from please?
Martin likes Sarah. -> Martin aime bien Sarah. I answered this question with simply "Martin aime Sarah", and I wonder why was it marked as a mistake. Nothing in the question suggested that it's the friendly sort of like, it could very well be a romantic sort of like. Both options seem grammatically correct to me. Isn't that right?
Last time he came, he didn't behave himself.fois dernièredernière foisprochaine foisfois prochainewhen I did this quiz I was marked incorrect when I chose "fois derniere"
but the lesson says I'm right. Dernier fois means last time as in "final time"?
One question was: Je __ ai invité pour Thanksgiving.
The next was: Je __ ai appris que la France...
The answer given for the first was "je l'ai" and for the second was "je lui ai."
Why?
What is the difference between lui and le when 'Je lui telephone'
Or are there specific verbs for indirect and direct?
The clue on the 2nd last screen is ' it = general statement ' but there is no 'it' in the sentence being translated, just 'I find that topic really interesting.'
The clue is misleading given the answers suggested, not unexpectedly, use ' ce sujet ' or ' ce thème ' .
On the following screen "I am going to buy it straight away. " In this case 'it' refers to a specific novel, so 'general statement' is not correct either.
I don't think the clue is helpful or necessary on either screen.
I'm at >97% on A0 and yet basically all of the questions are A0-related. Any ideas on how to move onto A1 material?
In the next to last sentence would it be more polite to ask "Je vous devrais combien?" instead of "je vous dois...."
The suggested translation of 'will justify much better' is 'justifiera bien mieux'; and if you try 'justifiera beaucoup mieux' it is marked wrong. I had thought either would be fine here?
