"Can anybody help me?" I'm curious about why this inversion needs "il" after "peut"? Is the non-inverted question form: Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider?

agreement of adjectives when two adjectives describe the same nounBonjour! I thought that if two adjectives were being used to describe the same noun, then you wrote these adjectives both in the masculine form, even if the noun is feminine, e.g. Elle a acheté une nouvelle robe blanc et noir. Yet, the correct answer in a quizz I did was "les canines blanches et pointres", not "blancs et pointres". Can someone please explain this? Cheryl.

Few/SeveralWhat English dialect is Kwiziq based on? My sociolect most definitely does not contain this silly "few is slightly less than several". Few is the opposite of many, it is not in a scale with several. Several means more than one, although usually 3 or more. I get that you are looking for a way to separate out the feel of scale in the French words, but it just doesn't work.

Le weekend est passé très vite.

I'm curious to know why this sentence isn't conjugated with avoir (passer + time) or "se passer" (to happen/take place)? Would it be incorrect to write "Le weekend s'est passé très vite"?
