Vous me ré pelez de sortir la poubelle is in the present. In English remind is only used in the past or future. For example remind me to take out thebin or you reminded me to take out the bin. There is no present tense. How does this work in french?

It would be helpful if the lesson contrasted qui and ce qui. Thank you, K

Isn't this wrong? Shouldn't be "I am coming to see Martine." Or "I come to see Martine?"Je viens de voir Martine. I've just seen Martine. <- Past tense???

Retourner can also use Avoir, if used in a reflexive mode. Are there other cases? Maybe you could make a note on that in the lessons list.

Perhaps I'm just not getting this?Above, you say: C'est in sentences "it is + a/the/my... + thing" C'est une jolie robe. It is a pretty dress. The sentence above is referring to a specific dress, otherwise how could we say it is pretty? Yet, further down the page, I read this: "...Il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things: Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau. Do you like my sweater? -Yes, it's very nice..." According the this, the sentence should be: "Elle est une jolie robe".

I just completed the A2 weekend practice.I just completed the A2 weekend practice. The statement is" And on Sunday, we didn't leave our room." The translation is " Et le dimanche, on n'a pas quitté notre chambre." It seems like this is a specific Sunday so, based on the rule above, "You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday )"; why is the article used? Thank you, Kate
