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
If I were to say: I spend my holidays relaxing, would the translation be “j’ai passé mes vacances” “en relaxant” or “à relaxer”?
Thanks!
I can’t figure out when to make cent plural when writing dates. I see it is plural in 1900 but not in most other dates.
I can’t find how to reference multiple days together, is there an example?
“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6.” which of the following is correct?
Le lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Les lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi je me lève à six heures
Thanks

I read in a French magazine:
La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.
I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country.
But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !
I love the use of the colors ! You might consider using them in all the examples as well. Finally, for even greater clarity - select a color for the subject of the verb (that which is doing the "bringing to mind"). Again, the colors are so powerful. Thank you for all the great lessons.
