"Tell me what you thought about the last episode."

Translation: Dis-moi ce que tu as pensé du dernier épisode.

[LaurieHamm4]

I thought penser needed à after it, not de. Help?

[Jojo553168]

Penser à → to think about something (having an idea, making a plan)
Penser quelque chose de → to have an opinion about something
Penser du bien de → to have a good opinion about something
Penser du mal de → to have a bad opinion about something

     → Mes parents pensent beaucoup de bien de toi
     → Que pensez-vous de son dernier film ?
     → Je ne peux exprimer tout ce que je pense de toi.
     → Vous pensez du mal de moi ? Peu importe.

I thought this would be 'le dernier épisode' because it's a specific episode

[LaurieHamm4]

I feel that the sentence was not clear as to whether "last" meant "previous" or "final," which would affect the placement of "denier." According to kwiziq.com, Dernier/Dernière means last/previous when it comes after the noun, but last (ever)/final if it comes before the noun. (Note that as an adjective, dernier agrees in gender and number with the noun it refers to.)
However, the language center says: after the noun = the most recent; before the noun = the latest in a series.

Me too! Can anyone explain why it's not?! Many thanks in advance!

du = "de le"

[CarlGraing1]

De + le = du.

[DaveGarrar]

why is something marked incorrect if it lacks a hyphen?

[GraemeSarg]

Because hyphens, like apostrophes, are mandatory in French.

[Arturo63726]

Why didn't accept t'as contraction?

[esther_mcmanus]

My understanding is that tu as is never contracted to t'as.

[CarlGraing1]

You can say that but you don't write it with the contraction.

What's the difference between "émission" and "épisode" here?

[CarlGraing1]

In this context émission is a programme. Épisode is an episode of a series.
