"Ils cassent des verres."

Translation: They are breaking glasses.

[M.Elsherif]

should make il casse des verres a correct answer too that's not fair

[TopTenTiger]

Agreed

[neslyn.hoo]

Both the il and the ils form should definately be admitted, since they both sound the same way.

[Donnamf]

Agreed

[gsimon60]

It must be correct!!!!!!!!!!!

[domteer]

Il casse des verres - They are breaking glasses. - You are correct./DL opinion.

[JohVolden]

IL CASSE DES VERRES IS ALSO CORRECT! This drives me mad!

[Paean]

So report it! :)

[JohVolden]

Did it right away :)

[Nicolevtwh]

It is accepted now :) 28/11/2014

How can I distinguish casse from cassent when listening?

[RodgerD]

You can't. There's no distinction in French.

[LaLouise13]

I heard "Il casse des verres" and lost my final heart. Next time I know I will make the same mistake because honestly I don't hear the difference between "il casse" and "ils cassent".

[Horchess]

Because there is no difference. And you are not alone in confusion.

[bobbyfasthands]

so is there a sound distinction between ils cassent and il casse?

[4sily]

Nope.

[cyrano5]

it is this kind of ambiguity that makes me think French has no spoken language

[AudreyParis]

Il casse des verres. Nothing wrong with that.

[neslyn.hoo]

I think my answer should be accepted, 'Il casse des verres'.

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

Yes, hopefully everyone will report it.

[13summer]

agreed, the is no way to tell if it is singular or plural

[neslyn.hoo]

"Il casse des verres" should definately be accepted.

[Feeniqs]

Calm down : We heard you. You should report it the next time you encounter this..............if you haven't already.

[mcadwall]

C'mon, not fair! Il casse is also correct.

[Feeniqs]

It is indeed correct. Report it.

[ElaineThompson]

I agree - impossible to tell singular from plural/

[FrancisBuahin]

I don't know why writing ' il casse des verres' should make me lose a heart!

[alyssums]

there is a liason if you listen reaaally closely, but with the robot voice it can be hard to tell. it's something you would know with context/ an actual human voice

[BhagwadPar]

Liaison between what? The two phrases are supposed to sound exactly the same!

[mufxmuf]

also my mistake

[joanweir]

I cannot hear the ending of cassent

[maritby]

Impossible to hear That THIS is plural

[AnshuChen]

J'ai cassé plus des verres après avoir manqué cette question. Pourquoi pas "Il casse des verres"??

[howcheng]

Mazel tov!

[tatiana.gr5]

Plural in french is driving me crazy....:(

[onerce1]

the male voice in the recording pronounces cassent as "kaze". shouldn't it be an S sound rather than a Z sound?

[Emil286319]

I wrote: "Il casse des verres." and it accepted it as a correct answer, however, the translation underneath read "They are breaking glasses." I agree that il and ils sound basically the same, but is it OK that the translation is wrong now... in this case ...
