Je ne comprends pas le jeu. Je "click" sur the M, par exemple, mais rien ne se passe. J'essaie de le faire glisser jusqu'à la boîte, mais encore, rien de se passes. Peux-tu m'aide? Merci

How do I know which one to use?  If I want to say “he needs to go grocery shopping” (for example), are “il doit faire ses courses” and “il faut faire ses courses” equivalent or is there some nuance that doesn’t come through in English?

Thanks Céline for yet another well thought out exercise.   I really appreciate the rich, diversified vocabulary with so many roots that are common to similar English words.  The recognition that approximately 40% of French words are the same or almost the same has allowed me to expand my French vocabulary.  There are at least a dozen examples in this story.  Sometimes, I just guess by constructing an unknown French word from an English word.  It mostly works!  Best wishes.

What a lovely poem! Thanks for making my  French learning experience so fun :)

For the sentence "In this beautiful and lively city," I answered "Dans cette belle ville vivante," which was not accepted. Can you explain why as elsewhere it seems to be an accepted translation?

In the quick lesson you use the example Ce problème, auquel je ne comprends rien, m'énerve 

Why is it auquel and not duquel ( or de qui) since comprendre is a transitive verb ? What am I missing?

Hi. Easy but frustrating question. Why is the sentence “C’est Francois Hollande” and not “Il est Francois Hollande”. In a class and being told the former. But when I state “Il est Paul Martin”, that’s correct. Merci!

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 » ?

Is it correct to say —la vue depuis mon balcon (the view from my balcony)
