Hi, there are two options given: “lorsqu’on lui rendre visite” & “lorsque l’on lui rendre visite”. Is the extra “l” in the second one just to avoid the “qu’on” sound, or is it a pronoun with some grammatical meaning?
The first hint ("they're a couple") could mean a couple talking to each other (as intended, so tu) or that a couple is being addressed (e.g. by a realtor, so vous). It tripped me up!
Can I suggest that in this part of the lesson:
Tout ce qui = all/everything that...Use tout ce qui when the pronoun qui is followed by a verb or an object/reflexive pronoun (as opposed to a subject pronoun -je/tu/il/elle/on/nous/vous/ils/elles - or a noun): You replace the list of subject pronouns with a list of object pronouns. You repeat the list of subject pronouns under 'que'.
Is this an idiomatic exclamation? I don't see what the 'que' is doing grammatically.
I'm confused as to why "we improved quickly" is in the passé composé rather than the imparfait. Surely the fact that they were quickly improving is an ongoing action in the past rather than something that happened "just like that" at one particular moment? (Having said that, reading the whole passage through again it clearly "feels" like it should be in the passé composé - I'm just not sure why....)
but when i click on button it is a list of the lesson , no vacab.
how do i check that i have correct meaning?
