I’m struggling with the change of tense in same sentence, that is, je mangerai les œufs que ma famille va m’offrir, and then again, je vais avoir du mal …mais je serai bien reposée. Is it because one is certain and there could be doubt about the other? Any help gratefully accepted. Merci

Hi, the teaching part is blacked out? Please advise, thank you . 

1. la pêche industrielle cause de graves dégâts aux écosystèmes marins.

2. les générations futures ne connaîtront jamais la riche biodiversité de nos océans.

In the above two sentences, is there any reason why riche and graves go before the nouns they qualify?  

I think there is a small mistake in the English text. Instead of 'The manager has just confirmed me that...' it has 'The manager had just confirmed me that...'

In one of the examples, the phrase is C'est la robe que je porte au travail. Yet C'est is supposed to be used for general, unspecified statemements. The dress I wear to work seems very SPECIFIC, it is not a dress she wears to school, or to go shopping. What am I missing or not understanding?

On the lesson it says "In English, we drop the when talking about things in general"

However, on the mini quiz when asked what this means in English, it keeps the the

1. Elle n'aime pas les chats

Correct answer: She doesn't like the cats.

2. Il aime le fromage

Correct answer: He loves the cheese.

Thanks.

Can you please explain the difference in meaning between "Tu peux ne pas venir." and "Tu ne peux pas venir"?

Plus nous sommes généreux, plus les gens nous le rendront. (Plus modifies the verb)

Plus généreux nous sommes, plus les gens nous le rendront. (Plus modifies the adj.+verb).

The more generous we are, the more people will give back to us.

Plus il est un homme riche, plus je suis un homme pauvre. (plus modifies the verbs)

Plus riche un homme il est, plus pauvre un homme je suis. (plus modifies the adjs.)

(My humble thought; the second sentences are okay with me. yes/no? Explanation)

(The second sentences are similar to American)  Thanks
