I don't think!Would there be much of a difference between. I don't think it is interesting and I think it is not interesting. The first would be wth subjunctive and the second with the indicative. Would there be any preference to use one rather than the other. Would there be a slight change in meaning? thankyou.

Why is this reflexive verb conjugated in passé composé ?The quiz question about translating "When I was young, people dressed differently" is answered as: "Quand j'étais jeune, les gens s'habillaient différemment."

But I thought the reflexive participle only changes to reflect quantity and gender as in these examples:

Il s'est levé.
Je me suis amusée. (When the speaker is female)
Elle s'est lavée.

Why is "se habille" conjugated into "s'habillaient" in the quiz question above? Shouldn't it be:

"Quand j'étais jeune, les gens se sont habillés différemment"?

General vs. Particular

Do you like pizza? is a question about pizza in general. Therefore according to the lesson it should be C'est but the answer given is Elle. I think either the answer or the lesson should be changed.

To have a passion for....

Bonjour à tous et à toutes,

I have seen the word passion used with both 'de" and 'pour' but I do not understand the difference in usage. Would be grateful for an explanation, merci !

Meaning of :"la voilà à présent": from C1 writing challenge week 34?Searched through the lessons related to this writing challenge, but did not find an explanation for this French: "la voilà à présent", translation of: "But now she's (lending her voice to the new princess Vaiana)". I haven't seen this French phrase before: "la voilà à présent", and I would appreciate reading about it please? C1 writing challenge's Correct answers: Mais la voilà à présent qui prête sa voix à la nouvelle princesse Vaiana or Mais la voilà maintenant, prêtant sa voix à la nouvelle princesse Cheryl

When asking question using the future tense of a verb, is inversion allowed. That's instead of saying Tu iras à la fête samedi ? Can one say iras-tu

Quatre cent vs. quatre cents

Dear Sir or Madame: The last line lists "quatre cent variétés de fromage français." Why is it quatre cent vs. quatre cents?  The lesson on large numbers would lead me to believe this should be plural.  Also, how would I write out this question as posed in French?
