Désolée

 Sentence:

I'm sorry that these posts are so short.


Without Cheating:

Désolé ces ?posts sont petit.


Cheating:

Désolé, ces messages sont petits.


Revision:

However, to make it more accurate to my intended message, I modified my sentence to:

I'm sorry that these blog posts are so short.

And got:

Je suis désolée que ces articles de blog soient si courts.


Conclusion:

I don't think I've ever encountered the word 'soient'. It means 'are'. Same with 'si courts'. I am definitely going to need to remember these words.

On the Water

Sentence : We spent the entire day on the water. Without Cheating : Nous sommes éxecutiv toute le jour dans le !mer! With Cheating : Nous avons passé toute la journée sur l'eau. Conclusion : Woow. I only got two words correct. That hurts. I recently learned the word for spending money and thought that same word would apply, I should have known passé was the word. Ugh. And I totally forgot l'eau. Ugh again. Definitely need to add this to my flash cards.

Back to Life

Sentence : I just got back from vacation and life is already bad. Without Cheating : Je returnée maintenent les vacances et mon vie est mal !already! With Cheating : Je viens de rentrer de vacances et la vie est déjà mauvaise. Conclusion : I had no idea on this one so it was a great teaching sentence.
