Is there a way to save these lists as PDF

Even Aurelie gives "garcon vilain" as an example where the adjective can go after the noun.  (ugly boy versus mean boy).

yet the quiz won't accept it.  This should be changed

This was a very interesting lesson to me that appeared in my dashboard but I have always believed that in daily life the subjonctif passé would not be used. Is this a question of educational level or are there simpler ways to express the same sentiments?

same problem, cant retake the quiz, very annoying

HI,

I was wondering there are two ways you can use to getting used to in a sentence. From my understanding would it be correct to use se Faire for the causative for having something done for someone just like the regular Faire causative? Also would you  use s'habituer for the most common?

Thank you

Nicole

Looking at the answers tells me that this was an exercise about ‘faire mal’ and ‘faire du mal’ but my use of the verb ‘blesser’ was correct. Wasn’t it? Maybe I shouldn’t use blesser in this context. Correction welcome.

One of the quizzes has a sentence:  La Castafiore faints (s'évanouir) all the time.

This question is totally unrelated to reflexive verbs, but I can't figure out what La Castafiore is.  Can you give a little history on this noun, please?  I enjoy picking up a little non-grammar knowledge from time to time.  Thanks.

why is it - le ciel est couvert de nuages and not

le ciel est couvert des nuages? since nuages is a noun and not an adj. shouldnt it be des?
