For future reference thoug... is this how I should ask if I  were in a deli for instance. Instead of saying "vous" I use "on" ..thus avoiding the   interpretation of "do YOU have" and correctly directing the question "do they (the cafe/deli) have?"... Seems a trivial point but I am  curious.

In the "après que" lesson, should the above example read instead 

             Après que j'ai vu ce film, j'ai été bouleversé.

in order for the tense  to agree with that of the  main verb as indicated? 

Of course, " j'étais bouleversé"  sounds closer to "I was overwhelmed" 

If the answer is no, what is the difference in meaning between the two "options"?

Thank you,

Anna

Some advice please on when to use vouloir in the present versus the conditional for "I want".  In English, insofar as I know, we don't distinguish between "I want" and "I would like".  On second though, perhaps "I want" expresses a slightly stronger desire.

Bescherelle punctuates haïr in the passé simple as: je haïs, tu haïs, il haït, etc., whereas you insist on: j'hais, tu hais, il hais, etc.  Can they both be correct? 

Why is "bien" used in this sentence to say "we did say 7"? 

Ça capte mal chez nous - How does this mean "bad reception"? why can't we use "réception"?

If a tangerine is "une mandarine" in French, as per this lesson, what is a mandarin in French? Is it "une tangerine"?  (which would be quite confusing to English speakers)

Hello  I am A0 level would you please advise me where is A0 lessons ? I don’t know from where I must starting my lessons?

When was the "point" (full stop) replaced with the exclamation mark in French?   There seem very few occasions when the point is acceptable: But the exclamation mark seems mandatory in most circumstances. 

The bot marked "lave-linge" as incorrect, but according to the Larousse dictionary or good old Google exists as well.

Could you please clarify if these go before or after a noun - 

1. Fou/Fol/Folle (crazy)

2. Mou/Mol/Molle (soft)

3. Mince (slim/thin - opposite of gros/grosse)

4. Court/Courte (short - opposite of long/longue)

5. Mignon/Mignonne (cute)

6. Bas/Basse (low - opposite of haut/haute)
