Bonjour!

Hi I was wondering when looking over the Qu'est - ce que c'est is it correct to always use that since it would be more formal? Or can you use c'est quoi when talking to a friend?

Merci

Nicole

While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response: 

For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you? 

- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?

In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps

Thanks!

why is (make us do our homework)translated as "faire faire"

This lesson is in my notebook so I'm in an endless loop here. I would like to do the kwiz for just this lesson. Seems like a coding problem. Apologies if this is the wrong place to report it.

Why can’t i say ‘tout à fait!’ For ‘absolutely’ ?

Why is the correct answer « fusilier » not « tirailleur »?

What I had understood that verb attendre is not followed by any preposition….elle attendait de m’entendre…. Why are we using de here ?

This question was asked in a TV show I watched today: “…mais est-ce que lui voudra te voir?” My question is why is lui used instead of il?
