Tips for Good Reviews:
Be Specific
- Give useful suggestions and examples.
- Write more than just brief comments like “Good job” or “Needs work".
Make Corrections
- Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
- Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
- Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
- Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
as Eric said, we learned in french class that "C'est.." is used when naming something.
(ex. C'est une femme.)
& il/elle is used when describing somthing. (like using an adjective.)
(ex. Elle est petite.)
and you probably know this but i'll add this anyway:
un = masculine (such as "a")
une = feminine (such as "a")
des = some (we'll often omit this in english, but as my teacher says, the french are article happy.)
le = masculine (such as "the")
la = feminine (such as "the")
les = plural (such as "the" but w/ plural objects - "the cats"
hopefully that helped! =]
***anyone who knows better feel free to correct me since i've only had a little experience with french (a year and a 1/2)
** gosh, you're eric! so then not eric. i mean the person above me. sorry.
