I don't have the best ears but I don't really hear the first syllable of 'Sinon'. I just hear the second syllable, i.e. 'non'. If I were a little more experienced, I could have guessed 'Sinon' because 'non' makes no sense. Anyone else with the same issue?
Your translation of 'Le monde aurait bien besoin de quelq'un...' sounds to me more like 'The world really needs someone..' rather than the stated 'The world could really use someone. What do you think of 'Le monde pourrait bien utiliser quelq'un...'
< Il va rester dedans > is being red-lined for "he is going to stay inside", but it is correct too.
The phrase “In case I’m late, I’ll take my keys.” Is shown to be correctly translated as:
“Au cas où je serais en retard, je prendrai mes clés.”
My answer, “Au cas où je suis en retard . . . “ was marked incorrect. Why?
To me, “I’m late” translates to “I am late.”
I don't understand why 'je suis en classe' is correct but 'Sarah est en classe' is incorrect
I was wondering why it wasn't Vous a-t-il appelée - because Emma is feminine ?
“This lesson is kind of confusing me. At school I learned that the superlative must come after the noun unless the adjective would come before the noun, and in that case the placement would be a choice. The French About page on superlatives also states this rule. So wouldn't "Marie est la plus intelligente fille de la classe" be incorrect?”
I am also confused and would appreciate clarification.
Hi,
I was wrong when choosing “ tombée” in “ Marie- France est ( tomber) de son vélo”. I agreeed the gender of subject( in this case, I think it ‘s feminin) as “learn and discuss says. Why? Is it that the subject here falls sthg ,not the subject falls. And past participle has to follow the gender and number of object in this case? Thanks.
