Hi everyone, sometimes an adjective is added before -une vieille dame - and others are added after - une règle irrégulière. Are there any rules/tips to know when to put them? Thank you.

Hello community,

There is the example given: Bien que l'on ne s'entende pas, c'est quand même mon frère !

Can someone explain me why there is a definite article before "on" ?

Shouldn't this contract as => Bien qu'on ?

The expression "to make new sandals" is "faire de nouvelles sandales" 

To say I have new sandals made, the correct answer is "Je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales" but I don't understand why it is a reflexive verb. I would have thought the answer is "Je fais faire de nouvelles sandales"

Hello,

I had this kwiziq question: Catherine ________ à l'hôtel ce soir. (Catherine is sleeping at the hotel tonight.)

I put the answer for the blank as "est en train de dort", but instead the answer is only "dort". I thought that "dort" would = he/she sleeps (not he/she is sleeping)

Elsewhere, I'm seeing where 'desservir' is conjugated as follows:

je desservis

tu desservis

il/elle/on desservit

nous desservons

vous desservez

ils/elles desservent

nous desservons 

vous desservez

ils/elles desservent  

Which version is correct?
