Pourquoi est-ce que vous utilisez « le visage » et ne pas « les visages » dans la phrase « mais entre la pluie torrentielle qui nous fouette le visage » ? Il y a plusieurs de personnes, n’est-ce pas?

Is there a complete list of words like: des bals([dancing] balls),
des carnavals,
des festivals,
des récitals,..?

I can't find it on your site.

Thanks in advance, Jaap.

I have been given that words ending in "ion" were female with the exception of "Bastion". Is this another exception ?  Should it be Sa opinion or sa opinion, or is it that the word begins with a vowel ?

why does the voice change... it jumps scared me! also are the voices the same from doulingo

Bonjour à tous!

Le substantif "science fiction" s'écrit-il avec ou sans tiret? Dans mon dictionnaire Larousse, c'est écrit avec un tiret. C'est un petit détail, mais je préfère être certain. Merci! 

Hi,can anyone please shine some light on the following: " mais n'en espérait pas moins trouver queque Poisson. I think I know that it means " nevertheless hoped to find some fish" but is this a standard expression ?. Myself I would have said au moins (il) espérait trouver queque Poisson. I don't understand the rôle of the n  and moins:  it seems backwards to me, and in a way " not hoped to at least find some fish.

"À l'avenir, je devrai t'écouter davantage."

In the future, I'll have to listen to you more.

Are there any rules around when to use davantage vs plus, or are they interchangeable? Could I have used:

"À l'avenir, je devrai t'écouter plus." ?

Thanks

What is the difference between what "quel" quel dommage and "comment" as in comment-tu t'appelle

Would not "préparez un bol de bouillie be acceptable?
