If instead of just going down to the basement to fetch a bottle of wine, she went down THE STAIRS to the basement to fetch the bottle, would you conjugate descendre with etre or avoir?

In the video:" Les fleurs, c'est beau." C'est  is singular, beau singular, fleurs plural. Why    c'est   and not   Ce sont?

Merci

I assume this is an optional liaison?  I notice on the verbal pronunciation there is no liaison, but there is on the sentence "nous avons entendu..."

I'm surprised it's not a required liaison actually, as it seems like it would fall into that category based on my intermediate level french knowledge.

Merci d'avance pour la clarification.

The English text had the word "and" before "the basil", and I seem to hear it in the French audio in the short segment that accompanies the text. Surely "et" should be part of the sentence?

Merci!

On the quiz, I missed this question:

Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, ________ est très joli!

I answered with 'il', because it fits the criteria that we are not talking about something general, but something specifically referred to previously: the color violet. The answer was actually "c'".

Can you explain why?

Bonjour tout le monde !Je voudrais savoir: comment on peut exprimer l'intention en français ? J'ai realisé que j'utilise ces expressions d'intent tout les temps en anglais. Par example : "He said he WOULD do it" ou : "I WAS GOING TO come, but..." ou : "It was supposed to be..." etc,J'éspere que vous pouvez comprendre mon français. S'il vous plaît, n'hésitez pas à corriger les erreurs.
