I missed the word participating. I thought "is in" would be a correct translation for "に出ます"

Yep, I had the verb changed to "will do" and missed it

I wrote "this athlete will participate in three events." My understanding of present/future tense says that should be right.

せんしゅう for last week and せんしゅ for athlete. I thought this sentence was last week at first.

"This athlete will be in 3 events" was marked wrong

This is accepted now

Also This athlete will attend three events (August 2018)

Actually, "This athlete is participating in three events." translates slightly different. "is participating" is translated into 3種目に「出ています」as it is present continuous. 〜(し)ています。expresses present continuous. 「出ます」is either presence or confirmed future, like plans to participate. Therefore"このせんしゅは三しゅもくに出ます。" should be "This athlete will/is going to participate in three events." or "This athlete participates in three events. "

Rejected just now.

And this time, there's no "My answer is correct" report button.

Can someone show me the difference between 3rd event and 3 events, I'm having a brain fart about cardinal numbers and whatever the other one is called.

Can someone tell me why This athlete takes part in three events is wrong?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/nekojima

it's not, the robot just doesn't get it

I tried "enters," but after all, it's a bit more like "exits into," ね.

The pronounciation is a bit off

The pitch drop after に? Otherwise, OK here.
