I think faire faire and se faire + infinitif are quite hard for English speakers to get their heads round. Is there a reason that only one of the examples is in the present tense?  Even that one is ambiguous (ils se font couper les cheveux - could be they’re getting their hair cut as we speak or are just about to).

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

In this question, isn't there  more than one candle? I chose faiblissons instead of faiblit. 

Bonjour,

Comment faut-il dire "not again" si ce n'est pas "pas encore"? 

Merci en avance!

It’d be nice to have an example of what to do with the past participle of être verbs when using "on" when it means "we".  I can’t find this covered in either of the modules On : we.

The following answer is given as correct: 'J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard'.  

My question is: given its 'negative ' sentiment shouldn't the answer include the 'ne expletif'?

I wrote "Puis nous irons chez nous vers 16 heures", is that really wrong. I see that "rentrerons" is better, but is it wrong what i wrote?

The lesson re the above clearly states that “If it/ he/ she is followed by a determinant you will use c’est.” Why then, after taking Lucie’s temperature does the doctor say,  “ Elle est un peu élevée” and when taking her blood pressure, “Elle est un peu basse”? I can understand why he would say “Elle est élevée” or “Elle est basse” but surely the given answer contradicts the rule.

I thought that the inclusion of ni … ni in this answer meant ‘neither Sam nor Paul’ not just ‘Sam and Paul’. Am I mistaken?
