What is the difference between "jeudi prochain" and "le jeudi d'arpès»? Would it be correct to explain that "jeudi prochain" is the next Thursday, i.e. from today, while "jeudi d'après" is "the following Thursday" regardless the time reference point (i.e. it could be the next Thursday from the event that had taken place a year ago) ?

La Saint-Valentin VideoBonjour! I just watched the St. Valentine's video posted on the web site. Very funny! In the transcript below the video it says "elle cligne des yeux" and "je cligne des yeux". Shouldn't the article "les" be used instead? Listening to the video, I'm not sure if he says des or les. Merci!

tes or ton possessive adjectivesIn the quiz a question is mentioned as: Tu prononçais mal tes "s". "s" being one alphabet it may be said as "ton". Hope It is right.

I've been told that if the town/city begins with a vowel the 'à' changes to 'en'. Is that right?

"Sarah didn't use to trust ..." is poor English. The correct form is "Sarah used not to trust ...".

De peur que versus pour que?I wonder if yoy could write il viendra de peur que tu ne sois pas vexée as il viendra pour que tu ne sois pas vexée and if so translate it as he will come so that you will not be offended. I am just trying to work out how the subjunctive works out in english.
