work--why not l'oeuvre?

I wrote œuvre and it has been accepted.

Why is touché (without the last "e") incorrect?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Jojo553168

It should be accepted.

'touché' should be accepted.

Does DL accept "je suis touché par l'œuvre de ce sculpteur"? "Work" can be "a work of art".

This was accepted for me.

Doh! It took me this long into this group of lessons before it finally struck me that this was about the passive voice. I couldn't figure out why "avoir" verbs suddenly became "être" verbs. I miss the hints section of each group of lessons that gives you a "heads up" on what's going on. So, after a quick trip to another site for a lesson on the passive, it suddenly makes sense. I might be a little slow picking things up, but I get there eventually ;-)

Same comment - touche should be accepted

Why isn't this reflexive: je me suis touchee...., it's a feeling...????


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/JoelTheRat

Would je me suis touchee mean you are moved by yourself? If think the "me" is not present because i am moved by the work.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/VickyNolla

JoelTheRate, Thanks, I think you're right. Moved by the work. Rather than "feeling moved" which is the way I was looking at it.

Could "emouvant" be used in this example?
