When in doubt, try for the cognate. It's usually a winning strategy. And use the opportunity as a challenge -- try your best to imagine how it could conceivably be spelled in French. And heck, since these exercises are not timed, you can then type your guesses into Google Translate and see whether something makes sense. You'll learn more from doing that than if they just fed it to you. I don't learn words they give me just once unless they're cognates anyway.

This isn't just an insult. it could be from a conversation where someone wants to claim he's recovered before he really is. "No, you have been unconscious for a month. Don't try to get out of bed yet; you are weak."

In a previous exercise I answered 'tu es faible' to 'you are weak' but was marked wrong!! I did not understand then & I certainly do not understand now!! Come on Duo1
