"Elle s'habille pour aller chez ses amis."

Translation: She gets dressed to go to her friends' house.

[petrenko]

Does 'amis' sound different to 'amies'?

[GScottOliver]

2018/04/23 No, the feminine plural should be accepted as well.

On Feb 12, 2019 still not accepted and there is no option to report it either.

[BarbaraSeifert]

Why can't you use 'she is dressing to go.... '

[Steve762689]

I would like to know the same thing. I entered it into google translate and it came back with the French translation as above.

[D3XT3RY0NuT]

Do not use Google Translate as a mean to prove something. :)

[Jammy647351]

"Elle s'habille pour aller chez ses amis" Why isn't "chez amies" accepted? Namely her friends' house, her friends being feminine? Anyone know?

[D3XT3RY0NuT]

You are right.

[Geoff_Campbell]

Solution on page has apostrophe missing from friends'

[mng22]

elle s'habille pour aller chez ses amies

still not accepted 26/08/ 2018

[nina.slina]

why does it have to be "her friend's home"? can't it just be "her friends' " ??? similar constructions were used before.

ses amies not accepted 15/11/2018

[SeanMeaneyPL]

Still the same.

[D3XT3RY0NuT]

We cannot use present continuous here?

[Carro51]

Answered with elles s'habillent. Not accepted but audio would be the same.

[CSA_GW]

no. "ses amis" hints the singular subject "elle", otherwise it has to be "leurs amis"

[Carro51]

Thanks, you are right, I missed that.

[SteveHedem1]

I hate this sentance!!!

[KarenSpark5]

Why is this not 'She gets dressed for going to her friends' house'?

[CinnamonTe1]

"She gets dressed for going to her friends' house" is an unnatural sentence. In particular, "for going to" is not the best translation for "pour aller" and also has an unnatural phrasing in English.

Although "pour" literally translates to "for" in English, the phrase "pour aller" means "to go to."

Also, "aller" in its infinitive form means "to go" and would never be translated as "going" in the present.

[KarenSpark5]

Speaking on behalf of the 99000 people in my area that definitely use 'for going to' in everyday English, I dispute it being unnatural phrasing. However, I will accept that it is apparently not common usage.

The rest of your post, about French, was useful. Thank you.

[CinnamonTe1]

Just curious, where are you from?

Where I live there are definitely instances where "for going to" is not unnatural. Usually when asking for directions or talking about an object.

Natural Examples:
What is the best road for going to Paris?
This item is used for going to the beach.

Do the people where you live say: "We get in the car for going to school" or "we get in the car to go to school" ?

[KarenSpark5]

East Anglia. It depends on the context the sentence is sitting in as to whether we use 'for going to' or 'to go to'.

[TimmyComri]

Should be an apostrophe on the "friends" button

[QueenCarthage]

Please accept 'amies' as well as 'amis', either is correct
