"Exceptions" and "Attention" Lesson sections not covered by Kwiziq testsI have a notebook and I have added these two lessons.
Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)
Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)
I went through several rounds of Kwiziq tests and I only get tested on the basic rules, never on the "ATTENTION" or "EXCEPTION" subsections of these lessons.
I got a score of 100%, but it feels like The app should also offer me test on these other topics.
How can I get more tests for these exceptions?
Example of rules I have never been offered any tests
This rule does NOT apply to sentences using the verb être and other List of French "state verbs" - "verbes d'état", with which the indefinite article doesn't change:
OR
When you want to emphasise the meaning of ONE (un/une) - not just a/an - as in He doesn't have ONE car, but TWO, you will keep un/une in the negative sentence - here it doesn't mean no/any:

In the sentence "Bien qu'il ne reste qu'une petite partie du pont aujourd'hui, elle offre encore une vue spectaculaire sur le Rhône et la ville." it seems le pont is masculine but in the second clause is is referred to as elle. Should this be il or am I missing something?
Instead of "après avoir couché le bébé", could I also say "après de coucher le bébé"?
I used 'du coup' instead of 'donc' but it wasn't given as an option.
I hope it’s OK to pose a vocabulary question - at first I took this to mean the dog has taken the person’s food, but today I came across a module in Duolingo (apologies...) translating "croquettes" as "kibble", ie dog food. Is that the intended meaning?
Hello,
Is there is a reason why some words require a 'consolidated' partitive with the definite article (du / de la) and some only require the 'unconsolidated' partitive (de)? Such as "je bois du vin' vs. nous buvons 2 litres d'eau par jour'?
I am trying to come up with a little rule to make things easier to learn / remember, but it doesn't seem that it works like that.
Thanks,
Alex
Bonjour,
In this sentence which I found it in a book, vous etes combien dans ta famille?
Why they used "ta" and not "vos" or "votre"?
Merci
In English, "I have nothing more to say to you" has a slightly different meaning to "I have nothing to say to you any more" - I guess because the second stresses you’re not going to speak again and the first that you’ve nothing left to say. Is there a way to make the distinction in French ?
