It would be useful to give a hint

«Faire de qqn» proved to be a difficult expression to track down anywhere. It was suggested by deepL - but without any explanation, of course. Looking at questions below, it seems others have pondered over this as well.

A hint here that it is literally 'make of me' would be very useful. Of course, in English we usually leave 'of' out, and just say 'make me', or move the words around to 'make (something) of me'.

Kwiziq scoring

I achieved 100 % in A1 level, then I achieved 100 % in A2 level and then in B1 level. But when I started working on B2 level I found out that my A1 and A2 are not 100% any more. Why? Is it normal practice or something went wrong?

François l'Embrouille

Merci beaucoup, vous m'avez donné beaucoup de plaisir avec cet exercice - j'ai regardé quelques de ses vidéos sur YouTube (surtout celles avec des sous-titres, dont il n'y en a pas beaucoup). Je me pleurais de rire, aussi.

You took this Kwiz 1 week, 4 days ago.This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.

This lesson is in my notebook so I'm in an endless loop here. I would like to do the kwiz for just this lesson. Seems like a coding problem. Apologies if this is the wrong place to report it.

I can't wait to...

Could you use "je suis pressé(e) de..." for "I can't wait to...". i.e. Je suis pressé(e) de découvrir le manoir hanté...

I thought I had seen that construction suggested as a possibility somewhere in the past, but I'm never quite sure if it rings correctly to a native speaker, or if that sounds more like "I'm in a hurry to..." (i.e. more stressed than excited).

Two questions: one word choice, one choice of article

1- I am unsure of when to use "personnes" and when to use "gens." I had, "Disons une trentaine de gens."

2- Why is it "Ma mère adore le fruit de la passion et l'ananas" with the definite article but "...mais les enfants préféreraient du chocolat" ?

I thought this was a general opinion and therefore chose the definite article "le" for "chocolat," as well.

My shopping listJ'ai besoin des fruits et des légumes. Why was 'des' corrected to de?

Also, why cannot 'le temps' be used to say "now it's time to..." ? The correct answer was l'heure.
