Using ‘aller’ for imperative with reflexive verbsBonsoir, The lesson indicated that when we use ‘aller’ for an imperative with a reflexive verb we should use the infinitive form of the verb as in: Allez, vous habiller! So the answer provided for the corresponding question should have been: Allez, vous embrasser! Instead, it was : Allez, embrassez-vous! Can you please explain why? Thanks!

ClarityI think that your examples might be clearer if you divided them into three parts groups than two: 1.Supplemental Group Do you have /another/some other/ idea(s) (as well)? 2.Different Group I would like to try /a different/some other/ jumper(s) (in stead). 3.Desciptive He speaks about France and /about other/ countries.

Can you use aucun/aucune to shorten these sentences? Especially, if you are saing "neither". Could you use aucun/aucune with "ne" in front fo the verb: J'ai appelé Paul et Hadrien, mais aucun (or personne) n'a répondu." (I'm thinking now that aucun is about things not people? So, what about personne?)

The multiple choice question in the quiz is: “Marc regarde le film. Il est très bon” means.... I answered - Marc is watching the film. It is very good. I was marked NEARLY correct because I didn’t include the answer: Marc is watching the film. HE is very good. That doesn’t feel like a correct answer to me.
