Can I use this construction with an infinitive as the "object" of the liking?I know how to use aimer + infinitive to express liking. J'aime manger! Par exemple. How about Manger me plait? Probably not, but just wondering.

Bonjour,

In the examples on the right you say in number 4 on the second row:

C'est bientôt les vacances!
It's the holidays soon!

But in explaining the lesson you say:

Ce sont bientôt les vacances!
It's the holidays soon!

Which is correct?!

Thank you.

J'achèterais v J'achèterai

I notice that Madelein has asked the exactly same question that I was going to ask. However, I'm still confused over this ... so if "I would buy a house" is translated as "J'achèterai une maison" how would you then translate "I will buy a house"
