French language Q&A Forum

Est-ce qu'on peut utiliser le mot français, la péninsule, au lieu de 'la presqu'île' ?  Si non, quelle est la différence ?

in order to make us do our homeworkcorrect answer is "enfin de nous faire faire nos devoirs. Why is the infinitive  used in both cases ("make us" "do our homework"?

Totally bizarre!

Think I might just go back to A2!

I just took a quiz with this question: 

Si vous _____________________, signons ce contrat !

(If you agree, let's sign this contract!)

I selected: "êtes d'accord" and the Kwizbot said that I was partly right and that  "étes d'accord" was also correct. I'm new to this course, but have never seen this alternate accent for êtes and didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the learning page for the lesson. Is this really a common and acceptable way to write the word?

Thanks,

Mark

Comme chaque année depuis que tu nous as quittéS

I did read the lesson on past participle agreement with avoir but am still not sure why the 's' is needed in the above.

Is there a reason why the quiz accepts "Puis nous avons organisé une fête" and "Nous avons ensuite organisé une soirée", but not "Nous avons ensuite organisé une fête"?

I would suggest that this exercise be set at a higher level.  I don't believe this is pegged right for an A1 learner.   Perhaps A2 would be better.

How come, in the final sentence of this exercise, the past subjunctive is not used following "Rien que"?  Instead, it was the passé composé.
