Je m’en veux mais il n’y a rien que je puisse faire pour y échapper.Hello. In your Week 35 B2 writing test, the above phrase triggers the subjunctive. It translates as: "I feel bad about it, but there's nothing that I can do to get out of it!" I suspect that it may be the emotion "I feel bad ... that" that triggers the subjunctive, because no desire or need is shown. However I'd be very grateful for any further help with this (extremely idiomatic) phrase! Thank-you

Il fait bon aujourd'hui

How is Il fait bon aujourd'hui "It is warm" as your test implies? Should it not be "Il fait chaud"? I would think the translation should have been correct as "It is nice" today for Il fait bon aujourd'hui.

Tout le monde pronunciation

Bonjour, To my beginner's ear, it sounds like in some of the answers the French speaker pronounces each word (tout le monde) distinctly and others the "le" gets glossed over. Am I just not hearing correctly or is there a preference?

Merci!

In the video when explaining "we live" she did not pronounce the 's' at the end of 'nous.' Because the 'h' in 'habitons' is silent, shouldn't the 's' in 'nous' be pronounced?

Thank you!
