In "Tu te souviens de mon ami Alain, que je connais depuis l'école hôtelière", is it okay to use "dont" instead of que?

Thanks!

What a lovely poem! Thanks for making my  French learning experience so fun :)

Pour quoi il faut utiliser "bonnet" dans cette histoire? Est-ce que le mot "touque" et aussi acceptable? Je crois que "touque" est le propre mot pour un chapeau d'hiver en Canada.

How do I say 'I am well'?

The question was “This is a number written in French: 78,005. How would it be expressed in English? The reply was: 78.005. Am I gapping or was the question supposed to be “ This is a number written in English: 78,005. How would it be expressed in French?

I have a question about this sentence : "Cette initiative nous avait tellement séduits que nous avons fini par monter notre propre coopérative !"

Why it is conjugated "séduits" with "s" instead of "séduite" (cette initiative) ?

Thank you.

Why do we place the adjective before the noun in some sentences, and after the noun in some sentences?

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!
