So when do you use "Qu'est-ce que c'est" (What is the Sacré Cœur in Paris?) and when "Qu'est-ce que c'est que" (What is the Sacré Cœur in Paris?)
Qu'est-ce que c'est ?
What is it?
Qu'est-ce que c'est, le Sacré Cœur à Paris ?
What is the Sacré Cœur in Paris?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?
What is the Sacré Coeur in Paris?
When the time expressed uses hour numbers under 12Â (with either clock), you use et quart/et demie/moins le quart, and not quinze/trente/quarante-cinq.
Does it also mean that, et quart/et demie/moins le quart can be used with under 12 and above 12 both?
Thanks,

Dans l'Eurostar, vous vous assiérez près de la porte
Is the the use of future simple here common in daily French? My understanding is that the use of the reflexive implies the action of sitting down, rather than the idea of being seated somewhere. Would a more natural way of expressing this be:
Dans l'Eurostar, vous serez assis près de la porte.
I realize they have different meanings, but it seems a bit odd to refer to the action of sitting down in this context.
I’ve only ever seen the adjective tricoloured ie. similar to French, in English
The only thing I see is there is what about there are
I’m just wondering what this was supposed to be, because the video is no longer available. Edit: I reported the example. The exact number seems to change each time the lesson is accessed.
Après avoir reçu le courrier de Qwiziq la veille, qui avait insisté sur le fait que personne en France ne dit "Bastille Day," j'ai été surpris de recevoir le email d'aujourd'hui. Maintenant, tous les "Writing Challenges" ont inclus le nom "Bastille Day." On doit se rappeler que le dernier est en anglais, pas en français. Alors, pas de contradiction là -dedans, malgrè ma confusion initiale.
I needed to use falloir in the passé simple (don't ask lol) - the verb conjugation tables in Lawless say that it's il faillit, but other sources say it's il fallut. The latter seems more logical given that the past participle is fallu - but which is correct? Or is there a typo in the conjugation tables.,
Translates as 'You're worth it'. That may be how it is used colloquially but doesn't it really translate as 'You're worth the grief?'Â
