"That is a newspaper."

Translation: C'est un journal.

[jamesfotoguy]

In french how do you distinguish "It is a newspaper" and "that is a newspaper" because "C'est" means "It is" right?

[ducXav]

Ceci est un journal? counted as wrong... any thoughts?

[haransivak]

I believe "ceci" means this, not that.

[rubenisme]

I had "C'est ça un journal." wouldn't that be correct too?

[YogeshSaini]

Why is "Câ est un journal" incorrect?

[Artilex]

I think because the ca is screwing it up

[KSC762431]

I think it should be "Ça c'est un journal." The accent should be a cedille, not a cironflexe.

[Chloe_Joy_xox]

I had Ce est un journal, wouldn't that be right too?

[merle_noir]

No, Ce est always becomes C'est. However Cela est un journal should be OK (emphasising That) but currently marked incorrect

[SaphiraTheDragon]

Why is 'celui-là,c'est un journal' wrong?
