French language Q&A Forum

 I’m confused. The lesson states:

“To express lacking [something], you use:

As you're literally saying I lack of [something], you never use partitive articles (du, de l', de la, des) here; i.e., Je manque du sucre.”           

So why not “Je manque de sucre?” The answer directly contradicts the Green highlighted guidance.

shoukdnt this be bonne? and not bon? to agree with la vanille below?  "Tu préfères le chocolat ou la vanille ? 

Well this was pretty disheartening. It would have been good to know in advance that correct punctuation and capitals were essential to get a sentence perfect!

How are noun cardinal numerals formed, and what is to be determined when putting 'de' 

In reference to the rule which is explained at the end of the lesson after the examples, isn't there something extra going on in the reflexive verbs which follow the pattern of eler/ eter like 'se rappeler'? For example, we have je me rappelle in the present, but je me rappelais in the imperfect, so we don't just add 'ais' to the stem of the conjugation in the present in this instance, right? 

Why am I not putting an e at the end (a tenu and not a tenue if we're speaking of a féminine thing)?

Puis-je  écrire "Parmi ceux...." au lieu de "Entre ceux.." ? En anglais, si je me souviens bien, on dit "among" pour plus de deux personnes. Et encore, je ne parle pas toutes les deux langues comme ma langue maternelle.

Louise a souffert? Je pensais que les sentiments, les émotions et l'action continue seraient l'imparfait?
