ne explicative mistake & mood mistake by meI am bring this up because I am desperately trying to find a site where I can check my written French. One I recently discovered https://bonpatron.com/ seemed promising at first.
In a quiz question here on the lesson topic above, multiple choice, my answer was marked wrong:
#1 Nous sommes entrés sans que vous ne nous entendez. (wrong, and I now see why)
The correct answer was:
#2 Nous sommes entrés sans que vous nous entendiez.
I can understand why my answer is wrong, based on the lesson.
I checked out all four sentences at Bon Patron including the last two
#3 Nous sommes entrés sans vous nous entendre.
#4 Nous sommes entrés sans vous nous entendiez.
For all four sentences, I was given a grammar score of 100% on Bon Patron.
So I am thinking that Bon Patron is not at all helpful, unless there is some really obscure reason that the three wrong answers here might be acceptable under some obscure circumstance, which I doubt.
Writing in French (to express my own thoughts) is a real challenge for me. At some point I have to go beyond set quizzes (and in no way is this meant as a criticism of Kwiziq) and use what I've learned here, so, for example, I can write correct French to French friend in France.
Anyone have any helpful ideas for me?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, if you do !
Hi Chris, But the English translation above says: These doctors see patients from eight to five.
That does not sound like they are seeing specific patients to me. It sounds like this is the timeframe in which they see any patients. What am I missing?
épargner is a correct translation for to save up but the bot changed it to économiser.

Could you say:
Il y a les chiens... to say there are dogs
and then say il y a des chiens... to say there are some dogs?
Why “Il ne faut pas confondre” as opposed to “Il faut ne pas confondre”?
"mais leur magie demeure avec le spectateur"
--> why cant the verb "rester" be used?
