Plural partitive?Some sources name a "plural partitive" - des. This lesson doesn't though. I can't really see how something could be uncountable and plural at the same time. Would you agree?

It smells good?I know it seems a small question in the great scheme of things, but how would you say, « It smells good ». Would it be ce sent bon? Trying to think of a conversation opening sentence when I visit the local market :-)

La télé? Je l’ai regardéIs the l’ part related to vowels not being able to go together? I read about ma amie becoming mon amie - is it the same for when la and ai come together also?

Demi/demieIs there a reason it should be "et demie" and not "et demi"? The former is the feminine and the latter the masculine form, right?

Je manque de concert . . .The test says that "I missed the concert of . . " is ''J'ai manqué du concert . ." . In the lesson it says '''I missed the train'' is ''J'ai manqué le train'''. What is the difference between ''concert'''and ''train''? Why is one noun preceeded by '''de'' and the other not? Thx

NO: Is-ing and am-ingLa fille derrière qui je suis assis est belle. La fille derrière laquelle je suis assis est belle. "The girl behind whom I'm sitting is beautiful." Should it have been translated "The girl behind whom I sat is beautiful."

"I only have a book" vs "I only have one book"Hi, I'm wondering about the difference between "I only have a book" and "I only have one book", which mean distinct things. It seemed to me that "Je n'ai qu'un livre" would be the former when I encountered it first. Is there anything that would differentiate the two English sentences? (No biggie, just wondering.)
