Nationalités - majuscules ou pas; citoyenneté ou adjectif décrivant le pays d’où on vient? Il faut être plus claire ici. Merci!

Salut tout le monde,

Toutes ces questions concernant les nationalités sont ambiguës. Une femme peut dire toue les deux:

Je suis française ou Je suis Française. Ça dépend du contexte. Française est un nom et sa nationalité. « française » est un adjectif et elle décrit qu’elle est de la

Beau ou beaux

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

"... calls to mind ..."The "Il rappelle son ex à Maria" construction is like the formal English "calls to mind". Here, "He calls to mind her ex to Maria". (That would be bad English, but it's how I remember the word order.)

Approximate numbers - 70, 80, and 90Hi, in your lesson "How to make approximate numbers such as une dizaine (ten or so)" you explain how to form the approximate numbers dizaine (10), vintgaine (20), trentaine (30), quarantaine (40), cinquantaine (50), soixantaine (60) and centaine (100). You did not mention 70, 80, nor 90. Do these not exist? Or are my guesses "soixante-dizaine" (70), "quatre-vingtaines" (80) and "quatre-vingt-dizaine" (90) in the right direction?

Relative pronounsBonjour! Is the following French sentence correct please?: ("The apple which the child is eating") .."La pomme que mange l'enfant". It looks like it's saying that the apple that eats the child! (2nd translation) This French sentence is from a very old Scottish school book that I bought online, published in 1932: Weir & Robertson, a section about relative pronouns, but Google translate gives the 2nd English translation above, not the first, which is from the book. Which source is correct please? The ancient book, or google? .. neither? I don't know! Cheryl
