I thought se coucher means "to go to bed" so it should not be necessary also to use the verb aller!

A small point about the explanation of the conjugation pattern of these verbs"In L'imparfait, almost all verbs conjugate in the same way, but verbs ending in -ger require a slight spelling change - an extra 'e' after the soft 'g' - to keep the pronunciation." Since the first-person plural form of 'manger' is 'mangeons', the root is 'mange-'. Isn't it more accurate to say that there is not an extra 'e', but that the 'e' is omitted in 'nous mangions' and 'vous mangiez'?

Is the use of "on" or "nous" purely a matter of choice? How do I know when to use "on" or "nous," if not specified.

Doubt in comparative form of 'bien'.

Bonjour Madame,

In the sentence given in the lesson as

"Ta téle est bien mais la mienne est mieux"

In this sentence although the comparative form of 'bien' has been used but then also ' que' has not been used;though here 'mieux' is I think has been used as an adjective.

Mam,Pls guide the reason behind not writing 'que'

Thanks

Construction of future tenseIt says with future proche the placement of me, te, lui, etc. is between aller and faire (du) mal. But in "Il va faire mal à ma meillure amie" that is not where it is placed. Isn't that sentence future proche? I'm confused.
