Égal vs Égale

Hello, Thank you for clarifying the difference between Égal vs Égale. 

So does this mean égal is only used as a symbol?

I see above both used in a sentence. e.g. Deux plus deux égale / égal quatre. 

Thank you to clarify.

If no antecedent, which direct object pronoun?In these examples and on the B2 test, I think that if the gender of the singular direct object pronoun's antecedent is unspecified, the masculine «le» should be used. E.g., "I'm giving it to you." = «Je vous le donne», "I give it to him" = «Je le lui donne». The correct response in the lesson and on the test was to use the feminine «la» in both cases. ??

Bonjour, question... Je ne comprends pas pourquoi..... « Ils détestent jouent au foot » est correct.

Je pensais qu'on ne peut pas mettre ensemble deux verbes déjà conjugué. Est-ce que c'est  la Gerondif par chance ? Vous avez dit; form of verbs with l'Infinitif - c'est pourqua j'ai le question.  (pardon de mes erreurs grammaticeux)

merci,

Solveigh

des vs les (retry)From a recent writing challenge: "It was an excellent exhibition, and she was even able to taste local specialties!" "c'était une exposition magnificent et elle a même pu goûter LES spécialités locales !" I had expected DES rather than LES here, would you please explain?
