all the other fruits are in their plural form

whereas emmener meant to take them and remain there with them.

Why is it not "Il FAISAIT beau tous le temps"?  It so describes a condition that continued for the duration of the weekend and that sets the event in the weather of the sojourn.

Hi,

I have seen celui-ci, celui-là, celle-ci, etc. used in text and I believe I have even seen them covered in a French class. I've looked, but can't seem to find any lesson that covers them on this site. Would you be able to explain when and how they are used as compared to simply celui, celle, etc as covered in this lesson?

thanks, Scott

It might be useful to incorporate the above into a lesson and give the rules for this type of construction, for example explaining the word order in sentences such as:

Je ne le lui ai pas donné hier - I didn't give it to him yesterday

I was surprised that you used the word un baiser for a kiss -- it has been my understanding that it is a rude word and has been "replaced" by un bisou. Have I been misguided, or is there a context in which it's okay to use the word? Thanks for whatever light you can shed on my benighted mind...

Someone to help me solving this? I need to answear today and i tried a lot of French dictionaries and didn't get this. 

To me this reads as “a voucher for hair shampoo” and I don’t see how the syntax is incorrect... unless “Bon” is supposed to be an adjective and not a noun.

I’m very confused!?
