Salut, can any one make a sentence when “ on” means ONE? Merciiii beacoup 

“You sang onstage?” Is rendered by you as “Vous avez chanté au scène.” I think it could also be “Vous chantiez…” if the person being addressed had bern a professional singer. No?

I struggle with when to use the imparfait. Why in the quizlet question "In 2004 I had money" was the correct answer "j'avais" rather than j'ai eu? It seems like this is a completed action in the past, not on-going? I get so confused...help!

why does "en bon etat" not agree with the feminine house?

I understand that "raide" is more common but is "lisse" incorrect? In what context would you use "lisse"?

French for "rifle" is "fusil", while "shotgun" is "fusil de chasse". This suggests the core French word "fusil" means something less specific than "rifle", which in English refers to the spiraled "rifling" along the inside of the barrel, which a shotgun lacks.

However, the Italian word "fusile" can mean either "rifle" or "shotgun", yet also spiral-shaped pasta, despite a shotgun lacking this.

Can anyone explain, s'il vous plait ?
