Looking at this sentence - 'je sais comment pousser les gens à bout' - I am wondering why the word comment is there? I am used to seeing savoir followed directly by the infinitive.

Postuler, succursale

My dictionary says that "postuler" is a transitive verb that takes a direct object, so shouldn't it be "postuler un poste"? But the Kwiziq translation says "postuler POUR un poste."

Also, what's the difference between filiale and succursale?

Le moule (mould) needs qualification.

I had to resort to my dictionary as this was not clear which type of mould was meant.

A shape as opposed to a fungus as in going mouldy.
