"Elles gardent les photos."

Translation: They are keeping the photos.

Why does the system not accept, “Elle garde les photos.” She can keep the photos, as well.

[Ripcurlgirl]

I agree that both, as audio exercises, sound identical.

Thanks for responding, Ripcurlgirl.

Unfortunately, when you write down a dictated sentence, the system compares your submission with the written, original sentence.

I will therefore disable the "type what you hear" exercise and report it to Duo staff, so that they can apply a filter able to accept a singular version of this sentence.

[irfan_mirza]

You mean that you’ll disable only this “type what you hear” exercise, right?

[Ripcurlgirl]

Yes, SS means just this one.

[irfan_mirza]

Thanks aplenty for taking the time. You’re nice :)

the promised change still has not occurred. Elle garde sounds the same as elles gardent. This is one big problem with French.

The promise was made when the course was maintained by the volunteers. Now, only Duo Staff can access the working platform and make changes.
