Is there topic on negative with "Il ya a" Can't seem to find it.
Is "au courant" invariable, or does it agree with the gender and number of the person?
Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?
In the sentence , doesn't sound like it starts with a . I listen to that over and over again and I just couldn't hear . Does anyone else get that problem?
1)I used 'formidable' instead of 'genial'. Is it right?
2)Usually bac is used for bins. Here its used for 'tray'.I thought it was 'plateau' for tray.

'qu'il m'a donnée pour mon treizième anniversaire.' - the link you provide with this question, 'special cases of past participle agreement with avoir' describes that, in passé composé with avoir, the past participle must agree with the object when the verb is preceded by a direct object, but also explicitly states that the rule does not apply to indirect objects. Is not 'me' in this case an indirect object (he gave it to me)?
je dois dire que les chats de Cécile sont exceptionnellement beaux.
Sometimes Vouloir (to want) is conjugated as veux at the present tense, but sometimes it is conjugated as veux for the pronoun je. Does this have to do with formality?
Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant. Is that incorrect?
Thanks
What can only be at the end of the sentence, and you use quoi and NOT que.
I spent a while trying to understand this sentence, as there are several examples given later on with "que" or "qu’" at the beginning, eg qu’est-ce ?", "que veut-il ?"and indeed those starting "qu’est-ce que". I reckoned it only applies to your first group of sentences where intonation, rather than inversion is used to ask the question - is that right?
