Hi,

I was wondering when you use the adverbs absolument and totalement do they use the rule #5 in the lesson for adjectives with adverbs?

Thanks

The often confusing de versus le/laJe n'oublie pas la crème solaire. Why isn’t it ‘de’ crème? I guess it’s general, but seems a little more personal to me.

Note that you gave a oint - mont Blanc - but when I wrote 'mont Blanc' Kwizbot correcte this to 'Mont Blanc' but then showed above 'mont Blanc' again.

Position of "ancien"

For "these old objects" I tried "ces objets anciens" and was corrected to "ces anciens objets". Is ancien going before the noun here because there is some sense of former-ness (the objects aren't what they used to be), even though they are still objects?

Capital letter for "le téléphone"

Hello,

Could you confirm whether "Le téléphone" needs to start with a capital letter "L" as both "le téléphone" and "Le téléphone" were marked as being correct and I have seen other examples on different Apps where there isn't always a capital letter at the start of a sentence in French.

The official name uses the hyphenated form < la Croix-Rouge > (this was 'corrected' to the non hyphenated form on the answers)
