I've been told that you should use "dans" when there is a roof, and "sur" when there isn't. So "on the bus/plane" is "dans l'autobus/avion" and "in the fields" is "sur les champs". Is this a good general rule?

Salut, can any one make a sentence when “ on” means ONE? Merciiii beacoup 

Pourquoi la phrase"Et puis, aujourd'hui...." commence avec "Et". En anglais on ne commence jamais un phrase avec "And", on utilise "and" pour la continuation d'une phrase.

It kept cutting at various parts for me. I had to replace portions of the audio over and over again in order to hear the entire portion. For example, for the first sentence I would almost never hear "Au Luxembourg" so I was confused by the hint. Sometimes I only heard the very last word out of the entire sentence

I don’t understand the instructions.  If I push on a letter, the letter appears above the circle, but how do the boxes get filled in with the letters?

What does the tip mean, "Masculin always wins in french?"  I don't understand this.  Kindly elaborate.  Thanks!

In english, if someone is upset, or if something's going on, i might ask "what is it?". I'm not exaclty asking the meaning of something but im wondering about a situation if that makes sense.

So would the french translation in that scenario be "c'est quoi/qu'est-ce que c'est"? Or does that only refer to a noun. 

I hope I'm making sense.

How do I add this writing exercise(Mother's Day presents) to the notebook?

"Nous avons mangé en une heure" does not have a correct answer.  "We ate in an hour" and "We ate in an hour´s time" are both incorrect.  An appropriate answer would be "We ate for an hour."  (American English)

Hi teachers/fellow learners, for the last sentence "où Le Débarquement a eu lieu en 1944" I was under the impression that for known facts we use present tense in French, but it turns out that passé composé is more suitable. Can you tell me more about this? Thank you so much.
