a la place de 

faire descendre la temperature

Merci

L'Iftar veut dire le dîner, non?  Le soohor est le petit-déjeuner. :)

Bonjour!  Can someone help me with this sentence - in particular the word "en."   I am a little confused about why "en" is used along with "un épisode."  I probably would have written J'en regarderai un ce soir to mean I will watch one tonight.  Merci pour votre aide !

What is the rule for capitalisation here? The Cirque in the first line is capitalised but in the last line is marked incorrect when capitalised.

This exercise was a good learning experience.

Would "... dans un tel chic restaurant ?" work as well ?

Also, I wrote: "Il se revele que son pere est le gerant de ce restaurant." rather than, "il s'avere que..." 

According to Collins, "ll s'est revele que..." = "It turned out that..."; 

and, "s'averer" = "to prove to be"

"Ce veloute de champignons semble divin." Is using, "semble" in place of "a l'air" equally acceptable?

New Vocabulary:

How did I not know that "un tourte" is for a vegetable pie, (une tarte for a fruit pie)? But, there it is!  And, now I know. Merci !

Couldn't find "pithviers" anywhere so assume it is another word for "un tourtre"

"perdrix" and "perveau"  "Un pithiviers de perdreau" sounds like it is right out of a nursery rhyme!

Je vous remercie pour cet exercice, et maintenant j'ai l'eau a la bouche !

What is the difference between vite and rapidement?

Au cours des années, elle m'a transmis sa passion - why is passé composé used? She clearly says 'over the years' so a repeated action? surely the imparfait would be used here?

Really don't understand why the waterpolo is faire du versus jouer au. There is a ball involved, n'est pas?

could you use lit matrimonial instead of lit double?
