For the writing exercise, My cousin and her accordion"For the writing exercise, My cousin and her accordion, I was't able to submit my question on the page.

Here it is below. For the last phrase, "mais elle l'a eu !", is "mais elle l'a réussi !" an alternate answer? Please explain the use of avoir in this case."

"Sa veste" et "nos chaussures"

Elle enlève sa veste pendant que nous enlevons nos chaussures

This sentence had me thinking because as studied before when talking about one's own clothing we use the definate article.

Should'nt it be Elle enlève la veste pendant que nous enlevons nos chaussures

What register of "anyone" would be used to say "she doesn't talk to just anyone"

It is a negative sentence, not affirmative, nor a question, so would "personne" be the correct translation? If so, how would you translate the sentence to convey the meaning of "not just anyone meets her standards"? Is there an idiosyncratic French expression for this?

Cheers,

Alec

Gender agreement problem

If one noun is masculine and one is feminine how do we make the agreement in gender and number?

With the first noun only or each term separately ("l'un est beau, l'autre este belle" ) ?

Why are they using « Qu'est-ce qu'ils ». Oh là là ! Qu'est-ce qu'ils allaient s'ennuyer. There is no question?

Pourquoi "sur" et pas "dans" pour "les lignes RER"?

Les autres modes de transport utilisent "dans". Un wagon du métro et un wagon du train sont similaires. Cependant, le métro utilise "dans" et le train utilise "sur". Pourquoi?

Their life or their lives

Hi Kwiziq team,

Why not "their lives" here:

Je fais ce que je peux pour rendre leur(s) vie(s) plus facile tout en leur faisant découvrir notre culture.

Thank you
