Wow for a beginner it really is picking up. About.com has some excellent conjugation information that you can use to supplement your Duolingo learning!! E.g. just type "avoir conjugated" into Google and it's the first thing that appears.

Un vs. une. answer may be incorrect here.

I typed 2 capital letter I and 2 lowercase L's and bother were wrong the 2 ii were crossed out and the 2 L's gave a note that there was a typo.

[speedyquick]

It is supposed to be one capital "I" and one lower case "l"

[LunarD3ATH]

Just to make it clear visually... "i" and "L" making il not "LL" or "ii"

[jameslewood]

I typed "il a un enfant" and it said it was wrong. I can't see any difference to that and the actual answer. What did I do wrong?

[Gareth321]

I typed the same and it worked for me. Maybe they fixed it?

[kirkopenny]

The lower case I

[kevin_yepez]

Usually they give the word that you know it starts with but without a cappital. Maybe thats what happened

[LallaPG]

why "enfant" has no gender? Well, if we are talking about a child, it can boy either boy or girl, can not?

[__callie_anna]

'Enfant' doesn't have a gender because it starts with a vowel so it would be l'enfant if you want an article, being male or female.

[jack_waugh]

I believe it is masculine. "un enfant".

[GgamerRXD]

maculine is a.

[jack_waugh]

Gender is not sex.

[LallaPG]

Thank u!

If anyone is still active here? If so, could you explain this? The first time I typed Il a l'enfant and it said it was wrong. Why? It says he has A child, and a child is L'enfant...
