why use d' in front of adorable?why is d' used with, elles ont fait d'adorable bracelets and des used with, vous aver fait les des cookies pour la foire. I understand adorable begins with a vowel, as there are mulitple cookies, I don't understand why the plural, des, has not been used. Thankyou

Elision and "ne ... pas allé."The spoken example of "Je ne suis pas allé au cinéma." has no hint of elision between 'pas' and 'allé'. I am always baffled by where things get elided and where they are not. Are there any rules about this? Where should I look? Merci beaucoup, Ian L.

Je me demande, n'est-ce pas la même chose en anglais? "as in French you cannot have a noun without article." ou "without an article"?

'Let's finish'/'Finish!'So if 'let's finish our homework' is 'finissons nos devoirs', what would 'finish our homework!' be? (As in you're telling else to do it) Merci!

I am confused with whether I should use the subjonctive in this sentence. Je suis contente que tu aies aimé l'exercice.

Je suis contente = emotion

But I know that the person loved the exercice because she already told me. So, shouldn't it be passé composé? "Je suis contente que tu as aimé l'exercice."

merci, tutu

l'or ou le doré

I used "et l'or au milieu du ...." and it was incorrect with the only correct version given being "et le doré au milieu de ..."

Why can't l'or be used here?
