I thought and had the same meaning and are both passive voice constructions. This comes up in a question asking for an active voice sentence to be turned into a passive. I used which sounds better to me than . So, are reflexive constructions passive voice or not? I was taught, like 50 years ago, that they were. C'est un peu tatillon, mais j'ai envie de savoir.

Just to ask why it is "de conseils" , not "des conseils" ?

Is it because it is a continuation of "plein de" ?

I believe plein de is invariable, i.e. would never use des.

e.g. "plein de trucs" , "plein de choses"

Thanks

Why is the music so loud? it's offputting!

Il est né un dimanche

Il est né le dimanche

Which one is correct? Can't we use indefinite articles with the days of the week ?

  I notice that in the written and dictation practice exercises, the material drawn upon is mainly focused on the level that the exercise is from, and doesn't seem to build as much on the progress of grammatical topics from previous levels.

   I find that in doing lessons from lower levels, I often catch myself not knowing something, and it's very humbling. But that's what I'm here to do (I have a premium subscription to progress with Lawless French), to learn another language.

  Thank you in advance for any feedback.
