Where does it go in a sentence with a compound verb when one is reflexive? Je vaism’en passer de pain???? 

Quand quelqu’un parle d’une groupe de laquelle il fait partie, est-qu’il est nécessaire incluir le “nous”? Par exemple, peut-on dire: 

«Les Américains avons l’habitude de prendre du café les matins.» 

Hello, I am a little bit confused on the use of à and the pronouns (me, te, nous, vous). Why is it “je tiens à toi” and not “je te tiens” (I am trying to say I care about you). thank you. 

Bonjour,

I am missing the distinction in the use of savoir vs connaitre with facts. A good example is "to know a recipe". 

It seems to have it memorized would use savoir, but to know of the recipe would be connaitre. But, from reading the lesson, it seems connaitre would be used in both instances.

Please help!

Thank you

For “competition”  I used the word concours instead of compétition; is there any problem with that?

- Is s'il vous plaît used with veuillez not redundant?  (I wrote Veuillez vous asseoir and the "correct" response was given back to me as Veuillez vous asseoir, s'il vous plaît.)

- The text uses "les médicaments" rather than the singular; would that always be the case or is that just an interpretation of the English sentence?  I.e., it could either be a mass noun or a single, specific drug.  

I found this exercise really difficult but the C1 dictées seem easy as we are given so much help in the form of vocabulary and expressions.

Would it be possible for us to be given expressions or difficult constructions before we start the exercise? I felt so disheartened after this translation!

The French would never use the verb Desservir to mean to clear (the table).

Instead, they would use Débarrasser, as in « Débarrasse la table, s’il te plaît. »

To win , I used remporter instead of gagner. Is there any problem with that ?
