Seems like there are 2 correct answers7"Qu'est-ce que c'est ?" means
I keep getting this wrong because I choose the wrong answer "What is it that it is" because in the lesson for "What is it" it offers
"Literally "what is it that it is?", it is pronounced [kess kuh say]."
but the correct answer according to the test is "What is it".
Why is the literal meaning not correct? If I had my way the literal answer wouldn't be listed.

Why do we use C'est when talking about a specific pencil case?

For this statement: "Est-ce ta trousse? - Oui, c'est la mienne."

Why are we using "c'est" if it is about a specific item (the pencil case). In the previous lesson, if we know exactly what we're talking about we should use il/elle.

Thanks

Question about the past participle agreeing when used with 'avoir' in the writing exercise 'A Bad Matchmaker'

Bonjour à tous!

The phrase is: "Après qu'ils sont arrivés et que nous les avons présentés, nous les avons laissé faire connaissance."

I have reviewed the lesson 'Special cases when the past participle agrees...' as well as, student comments going back three years, and l am stumped as to why the past participle of, "...nous les avons laissé faire connaissance" does not agree with the direct object pronoun 'les' (Stéphane and Aline). I understand that "présentés" agrees through the subordinate clause with 'que'. Why would 'laissé' not do the same with it's own direct object pronoun? ... assuming l have it right that both 'les' are direct object pronouns ... Merci!

Ne...que vs sauf

Hi. Could 'sauf' have been used in "...mais il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire qu'à téléphoner au garage et attendre"?

Also, could 'rien de plus' be used instead of 'rien d'autre' or do they not mean the same thing?

Re: Chris's answer to Amir

Thanks so much for the link Chris. Unfortunately I could not find "avoir" in this list. Should it be added, or am I misinterpreting something?

In the expression, apéritifs dinatoires, is a circumflex needed over the first -i in dînatoires?
