What to use when speaking about generalities?I'm a little confused because I was under the impression that when you talk about something in general (not a specific thing), then you use le / la / les
For example, "Les trains sont grands" = Trains are big.
Not any one particular train, just trains in general.
In my latest quiz I was asked to translate "Aurélie eats bread."
To me that is a general statement, we're talking about bread in general, not any particular loaf or piece of bread. In the same way you could say "I don't eat meat". So I put "Aurélie mange le pain", but this is apparently incorrect and instead should be "du pain".
I would have thought "Aurélie mange du pain" would translate to "Aurélie is eating some bread", no?
Thanks
On a test we have "Vous devenez de plus en plus beaux."
1. Pourquoi beaux pluriel?
2. In the audio the first plus the S is heard and the second plus the S is silent. Is it because of the liason?
Merci pour votre aide

Hi, I'm not sure what "Ado" means here. Is it related to adorer or adorable?
