Hi in this when he said the word diner, the audio gets cut. 

Is it a fault at recording. just wanted to point out. 

When to use one of the other

I searched quinze heures et quart on Google Search, and found that it is acceptable, however my answer was reported wrong. Please let me know if I have done something wrong, and I appreciate your efforts? Thank you.

So one can say: Il fait que tu aies de la patience and Il fait que tu sois patient - yes? Both are grammatically correct in English? You must have patience / You must be patient. One being a noun the other an adverb.

Yet, "un vrai nom" can mean a person's real name, correct?

Hello All.

I was reviewing pronouns using this page:

https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/

It mentions using the adverbial pronoun "y" and then gives an example:

I thought that "y" could only be used to reference an inanimate object, not a person.

Are there special cases? What am I missing here?

Thank You in advance.

Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?

"Je vais commonder des pates" is given as the correct answer.  Des is used with countable nouns.  Pasta is countable??  I suppose in theory it is, but in practice it is not.

Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect?  I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!
