Tony

I am looking for when you would use de plus en plus and when to use de plus en plus de. I can't seem to find an answer, if anyone knows that would be great.

The standard of lessons is usually great in this program. This one however needs to be rewritten.

In the lesson we are to translate "It was my favorite word for years" The word referred to was baguette. Since it is a specific word, why is the translation using C'est?

I was always told not to use the female for a cat as it is very vulgar in French

Use of sur ?

In 'Lawless French - Grammar Lessons there is the following example denoting 'going to' that uses SUR not À.

un vol SUR Paris > a flight to Paris

'sur' is not mentioned in the lesson above, could you please explain.

Bonsoir. In the lesson samples, "Je la lui donne" is translated as "I give it to him/her." However, in the mini quiz, I chose both "She shows it tohim" and "She shows it to her" as possible taranslations for "Elle la lui montre" and this was scored as "nearly correct." Why is that?
