French language Q&A Forum

Can I say "en profiter le plus" for "make the most of it", instead of "en profiter au maximum"?

Do they both mean the same thing? And if so, why does one of them change depending on whether you are a man or a woman, and one of them doesn't? 

Whilst not specific to this lesson - there are lot of references in these lessons to language choices that are "more elegant" than another.  Is this just another way of saying "more formal", or do the French have a specific desire or appreciation for elegant language?  In English we would never describe our language choices as one way being more elegant than another.  I'm just curious!

Et pour les petits creux et autres faims de loup

To my ear the "et" in this sentence sounds like the way I would (try to) pronounce "eux". Is the pronunciation here idiomatic ?

These listening exercises are really helping me, Thanks!

Just checking: In looking at the sentence, "Écoutez cette conversation entre Marc et son amie Lola." It is son becuase it is his meaning Marc's friend, but amie becuase Lola is feminine correct? So, if I say "Ma meuillere amie est Laura.  I use ma because I am female and meuillere amie because Laura is female. I could also say "Mon meuilleur ami, Charles."

How to say “ I meant to say” in French to mean as a whole

This sentence was considered correct:  

Tu es apparue comme un ange.

But that doesn't that assume we know that the subject is female?  If we don't know, why isn't it Tu es apparu comme un ange.

In the sentence "il suffit d’observer ce que font les autres et les imiter," why have the verb (font) and the subject (les autres) swapped places? Shouldn't it be "il suffit d’observer ce que les autres font et les imiter"?

The sentence is taken from this text: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/listening/bise-a-la-francaise/"

Thank you in advance. 

How do you know whether or not an adjective goes before or after the noun?
