The detail says to use Mon, ma or mes but the first to examples use son, sa, ses.  Why is that?

I don't understand "Il ne me restait plus qu'à cacher les oeufs." What is the use of "qu' à"?

Bonjour, should "Tous les parents la redoute" read "Tous les parents la redoutent" ? Merci, Matthew.

I think Il a économisé en secret should have been accepted

B1 ???

You've got to be kidding! (Tu plaisant!)

This is hugely faster than an B1 student could ever contemplate.

Without the translation, I wouldn't have had a ghost of a chance of understanding this.

Why there isn't liaison between ''et elle''? (Claire est assez petite et elle a le taint mat)

I have few friends

Are both translations correct?

J'ai quelques amis

J'ai peu d'amis

Bonjour,

I was wondering about the sentence , please explain why this would not be ?

merci beaucoup

Martin

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?

I have seen both of these being used, but I'm wondering if there is a semantic/pragmatic difference between the two e.g:

Il me faut partir

Il faut que je partisse.

Do these two convey a different idea, do they express different levels of formality, or are they completely interchangeable the only difference being that the former option takes less time to say
