"To look at"?

Would you ever say "regarder à" to mean "look at"? Or is the "at" implied?

Fraction Vs classification

The initial examples don't seem to make sense. "The 3rd world" isn't "the 1/3 world". A 3rd person is very different from "a 1/3 person".

So these examples are highlighting differences rather than similarities?

Am I missing something?

Quizzes on particular topics

Is there a way to get a quiz on a particular lesson in the Notebook rather than a quiz on everything in the notebook?   Thank you.

Elle ________ monté le poney de Jérémie et il a été très docile. She mounted Jérémie's pony and he was very docile.

Bonjour Tous, 

The correct answer to the above question is given as 'Elle a monte'. But in the lesson it is very clear, montre meaning to get on something, takes etre. I see others are having trouble grappling with montre, I'm not sure the lesson helps. Au secours!

Bien vs beaucoup Why is “J’aime bien tes chaussures” marked as wrong but “J’aime beaucoup tes chaussures” as correct? Do they not both mean the same or very similar?

The difference

Hi,

So my question is when going over this lesson. Is it safe to say that to think of using il/elle est  to think of it as possession of ownership like in English? 

Thanks

Nicole

In any case

In the sentence, ”In any case, we'd better plan for the worst.”, I translated the first part by "Quoi qu'il arrive", which was not accepted.   Is this expression correct or incorrect in this context?   

Although I found this exercise challenging (I gave myself 49 out of 70) keep them coming as I think I learn a lot, especially by examining the various alternatives.

The subject (pronoun) does not cause "se ... fait" to vary in compound tenses

It seems as though "Elle s'est fait jeter en prison", or "Ils se sont fait raser la barbe", in each case with "fait" invariant, are acceptable.   Am I right, and, if so, is there a logic behind the invariance?
