Why is it 'le jeudi' not just 'jeud'i?

We are talking about a particular Thursday here...

Hi,  my kwizbot it is telling my that in this example,”Cette maison est bien. - Oui, elle est ________ l'autre.” 

the correct answe is “mieux.” Why? Doesn’t mieux modify a verb? Here were modifying a noun (maison), so it should be “meilleur” by all logic, so why is the correct answer “mieux”? 

Greetings of the day!

what is the difference between " l'art plastique" and "le dessin"?

to - ma'am Cecile

thanks and regards

Je fumais depuis..... is used above.  The Imperfect with Depuis.  In another lesson it said that only the present tense is used with depuis.  Which is correct?

Can I just check the spelling of the second "apparus" in Céline’s reply to Jenny-Anne? 

She says "The correct answer was -  Both sentences are correct 

as you can say  Puis, nous sommes apparus and Puis nous avons apparus"

The "c'est" audio really really sounds it begins with "F"! 

Also the method you have chosen to overwrite/highlight the mistakes in the users submission makes it really difficult to see the mistakes! I think it would be better move the comparison from behind the tooltip and just display it on the page, and use underlines, insertion of missing letters etc. with a different colour, this will make it easier to read and compare.

I’ve just dropped a point for omitting the -là in the general statement "La vie était plus dur à cette époque-là".  Could someone clarify the distinction between à cette époque and à cette époque-là, as both seem to be found online, as well as in Céline’s answer two posts down. Thanks!

Hi 

can there be a lesson on the order of two or more adjectives for example

petit , and nouvelle

how would you order them?

une petite maison nouvelle?

une petite nouvelle maison?

une petite et nouvelle maison?

A correction for the phrase "quand j'essaie de manger" changed my spelling "essaie" to "essaye" and I do not understand why. Thank you for your explanation.

Hope you have a nice day
I still don't understand that when you will  you change the   first é of the verb or the second é becomes è , because when i read your examples i saw: préfère, répèter ,celébrate ,élève,.... Thank you
