Hello,

Why does it say "J'ai hâte de voir sa tête" rather than visage for "I can't wait to see his face..?"

Thanks.

How do i reconstruct the question "où a-t-elle appris le francais" to include est-ce que?If i follow the rule, then it should be "où est-ce que a-t-elle appris le francais" but is that correct?

Examples showing agreement without an object pronoun.

In the Weekend Challenge: 'My plan for the day of the exam' one of the translations required is 'that I'll have chosen the day before'.

The answes given are:

'que j'aurai choisiS la veille' OR 'que j'aurai sélectionnéS la veille'

There is no object pronoun in either of these answers, so why are the past participles 'choisi' and 'sélectionné' writen with an S added for agreement?

Thank you

Je voudrais poser un question au sujet de " depuis que". Peut-on dire.. Je mange beaucoup de poisson depuis que j'était jeune. C'est possible d'utiliser l'imparfait ou on doit utiliser le passé composé? Merci, Géraldine

Why would I use a stress pronoun?I can see on the lesson about plural stress pronouns that this would be for simple sentences or one word responses. But are there other situations?

How about allowing the women to answer properly with "restée" ?

"Restée" is the correct past participle for a female, right?

You could program to accept both male and female answers, perhaps.

Women and girls need to get in the habit of using the feminine.

Yeah, yeah, I know that genderless is coming down the pike, but for now it is incontrovesial that women use feminite forms in French. How elegant it would be if I could write, "Je suis restée."
