Je n'entends pas ont dans le phrase, Mes amis ont honte de leur comportement. 

Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.

Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.

Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?

Merci très beaucoup.

Questions about this topic, using the lesson examples:

Il a mangé de magnifiques gâteaux

He ate some magnificent cakes.

J'achète de beaux draps

I buy nice sheets.

Note that when the adjective is placed BEFORE a plural noun, the partitive article des (some) becomes de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h). 

ATTENTION:
This rule doesn't apply when des is the contraction of "de + les" (= of/from/to the) :

J'ai acheté de nouvelles bottes

I bought [some] new boots.

My question is:  how is the 3rd example actually different from the previous two? How do we know that it would have be “de + les” and that they would not? Why wouldn’t they also have that option?

Merci  à l’avance!

I found I had more difficulty with the punctuation that the words! A lot of English writing increasingly drops commas these days, and it might be helpful to know the French rules! For example, I wouldn’t put a comma before "in Spain" in the first sentence.

If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!

This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.

I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:

"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."

So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.

Hi, Can you please help me with this?________ une clé. (I have found only one key.) Why "Je n'ai que trouvé" is not accepted as a correct answer? But Only "Je n'ai trouvé qu'" and "J'ai trouvé seulement" are correct. I checked the theory but I think "Je n'ai que trouvé" is also correct.

Why is answer LA meme is object celui? Is that either male or female ? 

Thanks

Yes Paul. I agree with you. I never learned phrases like that in school. Would they be commonly used ie. Should I try to use them in conversation or would I get funny looks, haha?

Hi I'm Christa. Bonjour, je m'appelle Christa. Is this the right way to say specifically where I live?
