If you don’t hear all of the words, leave a comment to tell me which words you don’t hear. I’ll do my best to record a new lesson that helps you hear them.

Not quite. Perhaps you were very close?
Thoughts on this quiz: probably, if you did not get the right answer, it is not because your hearing is poor but rather because you were not already familiar with the use of aller chercher and venir chercher to mean “to go get.” Literally, chercher means ‘to search for,’ ‘to look for.’ And it can be used in combination with verbs like aller, venir, partir to mean “to go get.”
If you had been more familiar with these words used in this way, would you have gotten the right answer? Would have been able, after hearing a bit of venir and a bit of chercher, to decode and fill in the blanks?

Thanks David,
I heard it but wasn’t sure whether it was venir or venez.
Hello Samia,
Thank you for the comment. In order to help you decode things like this, I need to develop a lesson that helps you become familiar with “pouvoir + infinitive.” Here is how it works in the French listener’s head: having just heard the ‘peut,’ the French listener is expecting an infinitive. So it had to be venir. Best regards,
David
I did it!

Great Sharon! Only about 1 out of 10 people who tried got this one right. The previous quiz was harder, I think, as 1 out of 30 got it right. Some of these are very hard unless you already have hear the words spoken before. I am glad you got this one right.
Best regards,
David
I got the venir chercher but didn’t get the vous in between….I guessed either a or de in the middle thinking like come to search/find out but definitely didn’t hear the vous (just knew there was a word there in the middle) It wouldn’t have affected my understanding of the meaning though.
Hello Bobbie,
Thank you for letting me know. I recorded a little video to help you hear the ‘vous.’ To see it, please take the quiz again and you will see the video when you click to get the answer. Or you can watch the video on youtube : https://youtu.be/dKq5TreDpaU
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
David
