The lesson, however, shows how to choose between the use of C'est and the use of 'Il/Elle est' ... implying that only one of these two options is correct in any given situation.

Could you please explain why both options are correct in this particular instance.

Thank you

Reflexive in the future

Hello...for the future with reflexive verbs, can we say - tu vas te faire couper les cheveux, nous allons nous faire faire les ongles etc?

How about:

Tu te feras couper les cheveux...? You are will have your hair cut....? Does that work?

Merci beaucoup!

Why do you not add an s to retourné when you say - vous y êtes retourné?I thought that when you use être the pp always agrees with the subject.

When would you use the masculine form of a pronoun for a feminine nounwould you use pronouns ending in 'n' (mon, ton, son) for nouns that begin with vowel or silent h? In doing a recent quiz for the noun 'petite amie' a 'sa' was used... should son have been used instead?

Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est bon.

I got this question:

Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est _______.

I answered bon because I knew to use the masculine, but my question is why it's c'est in this case. I've read the relevant pages ("C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French and Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine) and my interpretation is that this would fall under 2b of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French:

il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things.

Bad hint?In today's A2 writing exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/160?utm_source=blk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=msg_448551You give the hint: Use "faire la connaissance de" = to get acquainted with. But it is counted wrong. I wrote "et ses griffes ont deja fait la connaissance de notre canape. And "la" and "de" are crossed out and "de" replaced with "avec". -- Either the hint is wrong, our the correction is wrong. N'est-ce pas?
