I don't think there's any way one could know them unless they had already been taught to the learner. I found it a bit unfair, but I suppose the grading is subjective and as long as one learns something, who cares.

Do not we have a vocabulary list of "more common" fruits on kwiziq? 

When I used "Je suis une chanteuse," instead of "je suis chanteuse," I was told I was incorrect.  But if the person speaking sings but singing isn't her profession, wouldn't "je suis une chanteuse" be correct? 

Hi, I learned the Est-ce que was a formal way of asking a question. So I thought the verb then would also need an inversion, like: Est-ce que avez-vous une voiture?

When do you use the verb inversion? (I heard actually the inversion is almost not used anymore in normal day France)

Je ne suis pas vraiment le foot mais je me souviens du "coup de tête"!   

The answer choice inlcudes 'Aurelie only went to the market - and nowhere else' and 'Aurelie went to the market - and did nothing else'. Can you please explain why these sentences mean different things? Aurelie only went to the market. End of, surely?

Pourquoi pas , "mon sac à dos"

Bonjour,

J’espère que vous allez bien !

I am desperate to find out a fact!

Please help!

According to your site, penser may require the subjunctive, depending on whether it is used affirmatively, negatively, or interrogatively.

So, I use the subjunctive for an interrogative sentence.

However, when I did a petit quiz on the subjonctive, my answer was wrong.

“Tu penses qu’il soit capable de réussir ?”

The correct answer is “est”!

But why? Because this question is informal, not “Penses-tu qu’il…”?

I appreciate your information.

Merci d’avance.

How do you say this in french:

'Last year, I went to Italy on holiday, with my family and we stayed at a hotel. We went to a beach and swam in the sea. We played in the sand, together, and built a large sandcastle. In the afternoons, we visited monuments and went to churches. For dinner, we always ate pizza and it was delicious. It was amazing!'
