"Si tu te lèves tôt, tu pourras l'apercevoir."

Translation: If you get up early, you will be able to catch a glimpse of her.

I love how creepy some of these are.

[DaveCollin762331]

How can you tell it's "her" and not "him?" I wrote "him" and was marked wrong, all other words were the same.

[--Roody--]

Here at Christmas time, "him" makes sense because you might be telling a kid to get up. early to catch sight of Santa Claus.

[Daniel589120]

If you get up early, you will be able to see it. <-- accepted.

The early bird creeps on the worm.

Stalking 101

[Vic3141]

If you get up early you could see it. Is wrong

[Luminous_Moose]

I believe it's "could" that's Duo objects to. The French is the future tense. Her, him and it are all accepted.

You can't use pouvoir for "you can see" unless you're talking about physical ability.
But you have to use pouvoir for "you will be able to see"?

[JacquiMcGi]

Yes, Debbos, that is correct. In this instance you do use pouvoir because you're saying that in these particular circumstances, ie getting up early, you will therefore BE ABLE to see. Hope this helps.

I can't understand why " If you wake up early, you can catch a glimpse of it." is wrong. Some half knowledge guy is rigidly programming english translation. Will CMU respond ?? I posted many times. it all goes to deaf years unfortunately. Are we learning FRENCH or nursery english.
