hi, 

I was wondering if in your example for cette aventure etait amusante why are you using cette? The rules state that if a noun starting with a vowel for masculine nouns you use cet. Or is it because aventure is a feminine noun?

thank you

In the above question, the answer in the test shows “lui” but shouldn’t it be l’ since the verb starts with vowel?

Is "mes vestes légères" the liaison between vestes légères usual ? 

Please help! Text: "Le matin on fait le lit. On le couvre pour faire joli et bien rangé." I translated it loosely as "we cover it(the bed) for 'it' to be pretty and tidy"  But why is it not '.. pour le faire joli et bien rangé ' (why is the object pronoun not repeated??) Without the object pronoun (pour le faire) couldnt it also mean "we cover it (the bed) to be 'pretty and tidy'...(we do it so we appear to be nice and organized). Bottom line... what is the grammar explanation, if any, for no 'le/la' between pour and faire in the text.

Au lieu de dire "le guide sera suivi par les enfants" puis-je dire "le guide va être suivi par les enfants"?

This lesson is on the A2 listening practice list but is shown as a B2 level exercise. Either it's mislabeled or it's in the wrong place. The 5th lesson below this one (Dispute entre frère et sœur) has no level designation in the title, and the 2nd lesson under that one (En gardant mes neveux) is labeled as a B1 level exercise.

I also checked the A1 listening practice list and there are several lessons on that list that have no level designation.

This seems more like a content issue than a Help Desk problem.

Hi,

In the example of “Toutes les fins de semaine, nous allons nager.”, was toutes les agreeing with fins de semaine (feminine phrase), or with nous (a group of female swimmers)?

Thank you for clarifying!

There seems to be a new font used for posts in the forum. The font looks smaller and "sturdier". In my opinion it is harder to read than the original one. Also, it is more difficult to distinguish bold from regular. I don't know what you guys think, but I'm no fan if it.
