Use of ‘femme’ for both woman and wife

« ma femme préfère… » would ´mon épouse´ ever be used. Femme as both woman and wife sounds a bit old fashioned while a man gets to be ´homme and mari ‘

In English, we say, “l feel hot, not I’m hot”. When we say, I’m hot, it means I’m sexy. Right?

Il me reste

Hi all,

Why would one say "il me reste des croissants" when "croissants" is a plural word and "il me reste" is a singular phrase? Is this just an expression?

I have a questionAt the beginning of this lesson you said "ATTENTION: it never means to pass (succeed) an exam." But in the kwizzes youre marking it as correct in "Il a passé son examen". I took a screen shot (http://i.imgur.com/gDxj3dx.png). By any chance do you mean He passed his exam (e.g. to the teacher, to the person infront of him)? Its kind of confusing when youre using the same word in different contexts.

un and autre agree in gender (un/une/autre)

1) It seems 'autre' only agrees in number, as seen in the examples. If there is a situation where there's agreement in gender could you please provide an example?

2) In the example of Maxime being hyperactive, should it be: Elle est hyperactive (F)?

lundi vs. le lundi

Aurélie le rappellera ________.

For this fill-in question I answered d'ici le lundi (wrong) instead of d'ici lundi. This is surely something I "learned" a long time ago (lundi vs. le lundi) but have forgotten because I haven't used it much. Could you please point me to a lesson where I can refresh my memory?

Thanks very much.
