Regarding the translation of 'the weather was beautiful the whole time!'
the answer is given as:
il a fait beau tout le temps !
BUT an alternative answer is also given:
"il a fait un temps magnifique tout le temps !"
This seems to conflict with the lesson ‘Talking about the weather with il fait + [adjective]’ which states that: -
"Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns."
Could you please clarify as un temps is a noun.
Thank you
Hello - I cant work out why in the penultimate response the reason why the verbs conjugated like this when the subject pronoun is nous "qui nous maquillera et nous coiffera pour le soir."
I would have thought it was nous maquillerons et nous coifferons
Can you explain?

Has anybody seen the subtítles in the video ?
In the video, you have 3eme, 4eme, 5eme whereas in the lesson you have 3e, 4e, 5e... are both used or is one used more frequently or is one more formal than the other?
Merci
Bonjour Madame Cécile et Madame Aurélie !
A small message I would like to share with you. Yesterday, I received an e-mail via Help and Support which stated that French experts are of the opinion that I post quite a large number of questions. Indeed it’s true I admit but I would like to tell you that it’s me (Shrey) a school- going thirteen year -old boy who learns French through Kwiziq under my Mom’s name (Varsha). I always had a desire to excel in French which is not taught in my school in India (as the mail suggested me to consult my own teacher sometimes for my queries). After being acquainted with Kwiziq, which motivated my inquisitive mind to grab this very opportunity, I whole-heartedly have started devoting some time to French apart from my school studies. With your constant support and dedication in helping me while answering my doubts since I joined a Premium membership in October 2018 helped me to achieve DELF A1 diploma. I will be indebted to you both forever. I hope you understand my circumstances and would devote your valuable time in future to help me master my French.
Merci beaucoup et Bonne journée !
This lesson is about the expression ‘faire exprès de’ + infinitive. My question is whether the word ‘exprès’ can also be used directly after other verbs to equally mean ‘on purpose’. For example, in the examples above is it possible to say “mon petit frère a cassé exprès ma poupée” and “j’ai renversé exprès mon verre” to mean the same things as “mon petit frère a fait exprès de casser ma poupée” and “j’ai fait exprès de renverser mon verre” ?
