Pierre joue mal,  Louis joue encore plus mal que lui, mais c'est Karl qui joue le plus mal. Can 'pire' be used instead of the 2nd and 3rd highlighted adverbs?  Also is pire=le pire? "the worst"? E.g.  C'est le pire film.  (Its the worst film.) Thanks in advance.

i was wondering  if u can teach me what 5th graders learn in french right now

in tunis

I have  celebrated Hanoucca with my family and friends for many years. We never have a Hanoucca bush! This is a symbol that is related to Christmas and has nothing to do with Hanukah. Please correct this, it is misleading and upsetting for people to think that we decorate a bush. 

Thank you for your wonderful website and weekly exercises.

Bonjour Aurélie,

As I’m re-learning and learning in a non-linear fashion, i would find it useful to have a link in this lesson to other uses of « dont » ...for example to say « including... »

My question has to do with the use of the hyphen. Am I correct in assuming that when the pronoun comes after the verb a hyphen must be added?

Merci d'avance :)

This is translated by Kwiziq and others as "elle a toujours aimé cet instrument" so I expect that is correct but why is it not "elle aimait toujours cet instrument"?

The action is not completed, it is ongoing. Why doesn't that make L'Imparfait the appropriate tense?

I just took the same test twice about "A l'aéroport". The first time I you said I had 7 correct, 1 near-miss and 5 wrong. I do not believe any were wrong. I then took it again. 

This time I went through the vocabulary provided by Lawless for L'aéroport.  My marks for the second time were 9 correct, one near miss, one unanswered and two incorrect. Absurd! The apparent unanswered one I had answered and correctly. It was the first question. Why on earth your system ignored my correct answer I have no idea but it is very frustrating. 

The two apparent wrong answers were not wrong. I used the vocabulary you provided. One said that my use of "bagages enregistré" was wrong and I should have used "bagages en soute"! I used "bagages en soute" in the first quiz and had it marked incorrect! 

What on earth is going on?

How can anyone have any confidence in how you mark these quizzes?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,

I was wondering if I can post my translation of the reading exercise of Cher journal for my answers here to see how I did or is there a page where it shows it correctly of the translation?

Thanks for your help
