"Little by little, the water becomes less deep."

Translation: Petit à petit l'eau devient moins profonde.

Could you not say. ."Peu à peu" instead of "petit à petit"? Or is that just wrong?

[Sitesurf]

Yes, that is a correct and usual alternative.

DL marked peu à peu incorrect. I've reported it, Jan. 4.

[M1ck3yJ0]

Thanks for that. It's accepted now. It seems more natural to me.

[Buggsy]

"Peu à peu" is still marked wrong 6 months after reporting it

[Sitesurf]

Fixed now, thanks!

Can "petite" not be used here because "l'eau" is masculine? Or is there a different reason?

[Sitesurf]

"petit à petit" is an adverbial phrase, like "peu à peu" which means the same thing.

[Jantek_Jantek]

Why not "pas à pas"?

[Tomoe_Mami]

why is it 'l'eau devient'? water is singular isn't it?

[Jantek_Jantek]

It is singular, that's why it's "l'eau devient". If it was plural it would be "les eaux devieNNENT".

Duolingo, taking it up a notch.
