"You eat a tomato and some fruits."

Translation: Tu manges une tomate et des fruits.

[rodlum]

Why would "quelques" not be correct for "some"?

[ferynn]

Because duolingo seems very strict with "Several" = Quelques. Although it is correct.

[bantam5]

why not mangez-vous?

[rodlum]

Mangez-vous is the interrogative form.

[bantam5]

ok, merci beaucoup :-)

[gabe100000]

why is "tu" necessary? Can't I just use "manges" since that's the second person form of the verb? That's how it is in Spanish and in Portuguese, at least...

[rodlum]

Unlike Spanish and Portuguese, in French you have to use the pronoun. In French, when said out loud, the je, tu, il/elle/on, and ils/elles conjugations are pronounced the same, so you need the pronoun to differentiate.

[gabe100000]

That makes sense, I hadn't thought of that. Merci.

[duttagupta35504]

Fruits is highlighted and the definition given even though this is English.

[mandevu]

Sommes could be replaced by quelques

[michaeltoneill]

a tomato is a fruit...

[samarawallace]

I always get confused on when to use manges or mangez

"You eat a tomato and some fruits" isn't good English, at least not in the way it's used here. You could say, "You eat a tomato and some fruit," and the next thing you know, you turn orange. But that's not the sense here. Also, we would say "some fruit," not "fruits."
