I notice in the sentence 'l'animal perdu s'est mis à dévaster les plantations, manger les fruits, et même boire le bandji' that the à is not repeated before the later infinitives. I thought repeating this preposition was usual - or is that only when it comes before nouns?
Why isn't "je lui ai fabriqué un album photo" not "j'ai fabriqué pour lui un album photo"? The grammar section on lui v le focuses exclusively on verbs followed by à such as plaire and téléphoner.
Google Translate says "I made an album for him" = "J'ai fait un album pour lui" (but weirdly, "I made a photo album for him" = "Je lui ai fait un album photo").
if ‘avoir envie de’ can be used as an alternative to ‘avoir besoin de’ for saying ‘needs to go to the bathroom’, why can’t it also be used for ‘needs to take a day off’? Isn’t it all down to context in both cases?
“À la maison blanche” refers to the White House, right ?
In the 5th sentence of the full text to read and listen to, the audio says "Mon fils David, lui va être un loup garou", but the text shows "Mon fils David va être un loup garou".
1) Ce sont les plus beaux paysages de la région. VS. Ce sont les paysages les plus beaux de la région.
2) C'est la moins difficile question. VS. C'est la question la moins difficile.
3) J'achète le moins cher pull. VS. J'achète le pull le moins cher.
Is there a difference between the 2 ways of writing? Are both correct?
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

Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive.
