You state there are two different structures involved here. In fact there are four:

1. "rappeler + person one's reminded of + à + person being reminded" ;

2 "me/te/lui/nous/vous/leur + rappeler + person one is reminded of " ;

3 "rappeler + à + person being reminded + de + [infinitif]";

4 "me/te/lui/nous/vous/leur + rappeler + de + [infinitif] "

Could this not be split into two lessons referring to A - 1 and 2, then B - 3 and 4? That would give struggling students the opportunity to crack each structure individually. As it stands, one has to hold and identify four structures simultaneously.

Or am I missing something? Is there a hidden logic that I have failed to spot?

The question was “This is a number written in French: 78,005. How would it be expressed in English? The reply was: 78.005. Am I gapping or was the question supposed to be “ This is a number written in English: 78,005. How would it be expressed in French?

So "j'aime" means "I love" but J'aime bien" means "I like"?  It would seem more, to me,  that to "aime bien" would be more than just to like but is this just idiomatic?

J'entend il se rend, pas on se rend, dans le phrase "et on se rend dans les cimetières".

Bonjour, 

I was wondering why "pas" isnt used in "ça ne fait rien", as usually to express a negative you'd have to use "ne ... pas". Is "pas" something that has been dropped in the expression over time? And are there other expressions which also use "ne" without the "pas"?

Thanks! 

Hello, I have these 2 lessons coming up at the same time "How to use 'avoir l'habitude de' in French" to express a habit in current or past times and "Expressing past habits or repeated actions with the imperfect tense"  - how do I know which one to use (ie. just the imperfect tense or the expression avoir l'habitude)?   When I go through the test at the end of my 10 lessons I don't know which one is the answer they're looking for.

Hi, do you have a lesson/primer on the various accent marks used over letters, including how they are pronounced and when to use them? I have tried several searches on the site and cannot find it. 

I find this topic confusing, and it trips me up in the lessons.

Thanks, Larissa
