Salut!

Maintenant je pose mon premier question et j'ai peur qu'il sera bête, mais  - on y va !

J'ai fait le "writing practice" "Bad matchmaker" et j'ai essayé de traduire "we let them get acquainted".

J'ai mis:

nous les avons laissés faire connaissance

et le Kwizbot a mis:

Les = Aline et Stéphane. 

Pourquoi puis-je ne pas mettre un "s" après "laissé" ?

Merci pour votre aide ! =)

Why isn't it

Aussiot que nous arrivions..

They are reminiscing and describing things so i didn't think passe compose 

The lesson says you never use dans for months or years. So if a delivery will be made in one month you don’t say la livraison sera effectuée *dans* un mois? 

Can "Ces" be used to describe for both masculine and feminine nouns?

Entres - y

Is the negative n'y entre pas or n'y entres pas .... Does the s drop or not ?

Hi. I understand that one could say "Je donne les requins à Anne" (i.e. "I am giving the sharks to Anne...imagine that Anne is a marine biologist) or "Je les donne à Anne" (i.e. I am giving them to Anne) or Je les lui donne" (i.e. I am giving them to her). However, how would one say "I am giving Anne to the sharks" (imagine that Anne has upset the local mafia) using a double pronoun (i.e. "I am giving her to them"? Presumably, one cannot say "Je lui les donne" (because it would violate the rules on the order of pronouns)? What about "Je y lui donne"? Any help gratefully received.

I am confused because I thought 2nd and 3rd verbs were always spelled out in full so i put aller here.

Am I able to say "Avez-vous décidé?'' instead of "Avez-vous fait votre choix ?" in this  exercise?

This lesson gets confusing because of the incorrect English usage of whom. The lesson actually states 'Whom does someone meet?" That is incorrect. it is "who does someone meet?" or " you went to meet whom?"

Just google who vs whom. plenty of explanations there
