Je suis une très mauvaise élève parce qu’en classe je n’écoute jamais ma prof donc je ne pose plus des questions parce que je ne sais pas que nous faison en classe. Souvent Je prétends lire ma livre donc je n’ai pas á travailler et je peux me relaxer. Mais quand nous avons des examens j’ai faire un peu effort réussir à mes examens mais je déteste etudier donc je n’ai pas de bonnes notes et même ensuite je suis paressuex et je copie mes amis. À mon opinion il n'y a pas de bonne raison de réviser ou travailler dur c’est inutile, plus l’apprends est difficle.
J'aime aussi ne pas écouter les règles de l'école et ma prof parce que c’est drôle. Je toujours mes jambes sur la table et ignorer tout le monde parce que je peux. Je dois déranger la classe donc je parle trés fort et j'essaye aussi de faire rire tout le monde.
Hey, please what's the difference between "Je m'ai fait peur" and "Je me suis fait peur"? Which is more correct and why? Especially since faire is conjugated with avoir in passé composé.
I didn't do as well as I had hoped yet for every response, I had portions of the phrase correct. I agree with the comments here that when the phrase is incorrect, you shouldn't respond with 'well done.' Also, it appears you are grading on the way you expect the answer to be; however, there are multiple ways to express the phrase and many of my answers were the alternative. Granted, the spelling was wrong and I missed some words but I understood how to express each phrase. I would profit from knowing what I need to work on vs 'well done.'
A test question under this topic was "La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes." However I am not sure why the grammar is "est de plus de..." instead of "est plus de..." The translation, "is more than..." doesn't indicate the need of an extra "de".
What about temps
Nous n'avons plus de temps,
I thought time was a non-count noun
How to contugate intelligent with nous in french
It's great that Christmas gets a mention in this lesson. However, in the 500+ tests I've done I don't remember a single question mentioning Christmas. There have been questions mentioning Aid, a fair few mentioning Hanukkah and loads mentioning Thanksgiving. Please add a few questions involving Christmas! I believe it's considered rather an important festival in the USA, as well as the UK and elsewhere.
Why do we say "le prochain étape" and not "l'étape prochain"?
I don't understand why "déguise" is used in the translation of "Grandma always wanted us to be dressed up for the occasion". The suggested answer given is "Mamie voulait toujours qu'on soit déguisés pour l'occasion". All the references I look at imply "make unrecognizable/camouflage", so I'm wondering why "déguisé" is preferred to something like "habillé" in this context? Is it an idiomatic expression?
