Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

that, and jeux vidéo, with no S.

[vernal idol]

Btw the mistake was using on instead of nous

[junior breach]

surprised they didn't have that as an option

but i think sometimes its responses are checked similarly to duo's. which is to say they'll give you the same suggested answer even if your mistake was something else entirely

[junior breach]

ah scratch that, the subject duplication probably isn't something they're checking for

but this is definitely a realistic phrasing

[vernal idol]

Well at least my first reasoning wasn't all that bad, whats funny is that the next prompt it said "hint: use nous"

[junior breach]

what level of exercise is this?

out of curiosity

[vernal idol]

Oh yeah prob since the right answer was "avons"

[vernal idol]

B2 i think or b1, i didn't check, im working on those ones today

[junior breach]

i doubt it was looking for "mon frère et moi, nous avons..." either, tbf

[junior breach]

you finding them useful?

[vernal idol]

Euh sort of, i mean gramatically is easy, but in terms of vocabulaire, im fcked so it becomes hard when it's about stuff I dont know / have never seen

[junior breach]

they're definitely more about putting everything together than straight grammar

[bold jolt]

in this case, is avons/a an auxilary verb? like "have always loved video games"?

[junior breach]

exactly

[bold jolt]

ohh

thank ya

[candid fossil]

While this phrasing is super common, you need to have a comma after “mon frère et moi” if you’re inserting a new subject.

[vernal idol]

Well yes, I always forget to do it altho I know there should be a ,

On appelle ça une phrase emphatique. C'est un type de phrase à part entière qui suit ses propres règles grammaticales. Ces phrases sont correctes, et ce, à la fois dans un contexte familier et formel.

Il y a deux types de phrases emphatiques si je me souviens bien :
« Ma femme, je l'aime. » -> répétition de l'élément mis en emphase.
« C'est ma femme que j'aime » -> encadrement du sujet par « c'est [sujet] que ».

[crystal musk]

Effectivement, quand on dédouble le sujet ou l'objet, il faut le séparer par une virgule. On ne le fait pas quand on l'encadre par c'est ... que.

Is this graded by a computer or by actual people? Because "on" is the most commonly used pronoun for "we" in many dialects.
