Conjugate reflexive verbsThe KWIS has a question:
Nous ________ les cheveux. We brushed our hair
(HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) in the compound past (Passé Composé))
Answer given: nous sommes brossé
But the text states:
Reflexive verbs always use être as the auxiliary verb in Le Passé Composé.
Note also that the verb must agree with the gender and number of the person.
i.e. taking an extra -e for women, and an extra -s for more than one person,
{In text: Conjugate reflexive verbs (+être) in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)}
Then should the answer not be:
nous sommes brossés ?
In the one question they use 'en': "Il s'en souvient. = He remembers it." I don't see anything in this lesson explaining when we would use en with this verb?
Not that it necessarily requires a separate lesson, as it follows the same pattern as most of the other verbs, but perhaps 'tomber' should also be on the list of dual auxiliary verbs - être in intransitive form, avoir in transitive form.

I selected nationality with Capital letter, but it says I selected lower case
Les Souillard sont mariés depuis plus de vingt ans." means:
The Souillards have been married for more than twenty years
If ‘le répondeur’ is linked to the landline, it would be known as an answering machine (in the UK)

And what about the Negations of the examples given in this lesson? Are these correct for the Negative Imperative with Adverbial Double Pronoun -
With En -
- Ne t'en donnons pas! [Let's not give you any.]
- Ne m’en parle pas! [Don’t tell me about it.]
- Ne nous en parlez pas. [Don't tell us about it.]
With Y -
- Ne m’y emmenez pas! [Don't take me there.]
- Ne t'y amusez pas! [Don't have fun there.]
With Others -
- Ne me les donne pas. [Don't give them to me.]
- Ne nous l'envoie pas. [Don't send it to us.]
We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats!
Why is it "du" and not "des"?
Hi!
I don't want the tips that appear in the fill-out-the-blanks exerceises. Can I choose to turn them off?
