It seems they are equally valid alternatives.
I just don't understand why this sentence uses an adverb, rather than an adjective :
Ta télé est bien, mais la mienne est mieux.
I would think it'd use : Ta télé est bonne, mais la mienne est meilleure.
Thank you for your explanation!
Your explanations often are confusing. You write "Note that the verb agrees with the object"But what you mean is
"The pleasing thing or person is the subject, and as always, subjects and verbs agree. The person or thing being pleased is placed as an indirect object, either as the object of the preposition à or with an indirect object pronoun.
The quiz says: ____ les gars! Thanks for coming guys!
The answer is Merci d'etre venus
This is clearly correct in the usual situation where the guys have come and are being thanked for it.
But suppose that the guys had promised to come and were being thanked in advance for it? The same English sentence would work for that situation, even if it would be more explicit if we said "Thanks for agreeing to come, guys". How would the French look in that case?
