in america, there is no such thing as "i will lay the table" that literally means you are making or forcing the table to lay down. but you would not do that to an object, nor would you phrase it that way because a table cannot lay down, it stands and does nothing else. i am finding a lot of phrases that are difficult to translate because of this. i have also sought help with french speaking friends who have helped me and when i provide the answer, the platform says i am wrong and reverses the answer. such as the case with adjectives position before or after.

Statement: ...Je me sens beaucoup mieux !  Question: Tu sens une différence ?

Why does the question use sentir and not se sentir (ie, "Tu te sens...)?  Is it because the statement is about feeling better ("internal" feeling) and the question is about feeling a difference (perceiving something)?  Would "Tu te sens mieux ?" be a correct way to ask if someone is feeling better?

Hello, If I take a subscription, which I would use at the later beginner/early intermediate level, could my husband use a Beginner strand of the program on the same subscription? Or must we each buy a subscription? Does anyone have experience with this?

At the very start, why is it « ...as-tu prévu quelque chose pour le week-end ? » and not « ...as-tu planifié quelque chose pour le week-end ? » ?
What is the difference between the verb « prévoir » and « planifier » ?
