"C'est une petite lampe de bureau en forme de phare breton. "
"C'est très joli ! "
I am reading
"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
Based on that, I am thinking this: we have a specific item here, not a general subject like "La science",
so we can't use 2a - c'est for general, unspecific statements and opinions
so why isn't it using : 2b "il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things"
= Elle est très jolie.
Thanks Paul.
Il faut que je vous recommande l’appreniez le français, car c’est très intéressant et ça vous ouvre l’esprit. Ensuite, lorsque vous alliez en France, vous pouvez parler leur langue maternelle et avoir aussi une meilleure connaissance de leur culture. Ce serait une expérience incroyable.

For this exercise, A Thanksgiving gift, I have searched for turkey, and according to Google, there is dinde, the feminine for turkey and dindon, for masculine. I know in English they don't have genders. My question is, should we put the correct gender in French?
Thank you!
Pour moi, question 8, on the 8th February 2023, Nous ne voyons personne» means : ....I put 'we never see anyone' which you have said is incorrect. In english We don't (do not) see anyone, can also mean 'we are particular who we see'. Is this the same in french for Nous ne voyons personne, if so why is it not clarified?
So while you can’t say ‘J’ai des autres chaussures’ , can you say ‘j’ai besoin des autres chaussures?’ More important, how would you say ‘I have some of the other shoes?’ How is that not ‘des autres chaussures’?
How do we get better at French?
Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip. Why the imparfait here? It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive. It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.
