"Pronunciation Note: 

Does that mean that the final -s is always pronounced if the meaning is positive? Is that how French people distinguish between 1) J'ai plus du temps and 2) J'ai plus de temps (where 2 is really Je n'ai plus de temps with the ne omitted as it often is in conversation). How do native French listeners tell the difference?

I wrote

tres bon instead of trop bon?

Whats exactly the difference. Someone told me trop is rather used for negative situations.

please clarify

The English text says "I crossed the Garonne river...", but the French text uses "nous" throughout. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/VIvVD4V

Surely it is le mien? Please explain

Wait! Don’t go to bed yet!

If the first part of the question is stated in second person plural, why is ‘ne te couche pas’ right and ‘ne vous couchez pas’ wrong?

Why is it not "Non, ici rien n'est PAS cher"?  

I saw in a previous post that you refer us to Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations), but this says that you don't need "pas" in situations where you use a different word in place of "pas"...  so you could use "n'est rien" instead of "n'est pas".  But in the text above, "rien" is already in the sentence, so we shouldn't repeat it, right?  So, where is the "PAS"?  Or can any adjective simply replace the "pas"?

Please clarify... et merci beaucoup!

My new school bag is blue and yellow

I answered: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune

Kwiziq wanted: Mon nouveau cartable est bleu et jaune

I took the phrase to mean that the bag was brand new, so I used "neuf". Is the phrase ambiguous or am I missing something?

Thanks!

One line has an answer of “C'est l'un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”

and then also of “C'est un des plus anciens lieux de culte du pays.”

But the audio is “c’est l’un”, not “c’est un”, so I guess the second answer shouldn’t appear as an option, even if it’s a grammatically correct alternative. 

Not a big issue, but I thought I’d mention it.
