I like my car. I like theirs too.This is a question of when does something become plural. In the question of how do we translate "I like my car. I like theirs too." or "J'aime ma voiture. J'aime ________ aussi." My car is definitely singular, however, why is the answer "la leur" when we are talking about comparing more than one car, maybe. The sentence alone doesn't say how many are in "THEIR" group, we could be talking about a couple, or a much larger group, it's not clear in the context.

Negation with both direct and indirect pronouns in passé composé

It might be useful to incorporate the above into a lesson and give the rules for this type of construction, for example explaining the word order in sentences such as:

Je ne le lui ai pas donné hier - I didn't give it to him yesterday

Partitif article followed by propername

I have the following sentence

Il biot ------ Coca-cola tous les jours.

Here i need to fill it using partitif article, because Coca-cola is a propername i have to use Il boit de Coca-cola tous les jours?

Is this correct. Please correct me if i am wrong.

de retard vs en retard

In the Kwiz -

Why is "J'ai dix minutes de retard” correct, and

“Je suis dix minutes en retard” is not?

I know it's simple, but I'm not seeing it.

Du pain

Why is it "Il achète du pain"? I think bread is countable so it should be "Il achète des pains"

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
