Doubt regarding one of the examples aboveTu amèneras des citrouilles pour qu'on les sculpte? I thought "amener" was used for people and animals. Shouldn't we use "apporter" here ?

Après m'être réveillée, je suis grognonne. C'est correct?

Is this grammatically correct for "After waking up, I'm grumpy."?

p.s. this is a one-off event, not a recurring event.

Telling the time.In English we often phrases like " quarter past", "five past" , "five to" by themselves when referring to time. Consider the situation when everyone knows it is about say six o'clock and we are all waiting for the bus or the train to arrive. Someone may ask "When is the next bus?" and someone will informally answer "five past". Everyone knows what this means. Is there an equivalent in French? Or do we have to say it formally " (Il est six heures cinq)

About “ autre chose et quelque chose d’autre”

Bonjour Aurélie et Cécile,

I have 2 questions.

1/ As your explanation, we have 2 different ways of saying the same thing. Thus, why is it just nearly correct when I say:” Ils ont besoin d’occuper leurs jours à autre chose? The right answer in the test is” Ils .... à quelque chose d’autre”.

2/ How about to say autre chose/ quelque chose d’autre in plural?E.g.: I’d like to choose the other things.

Merci beaucoup.

How about the difference between 'être de' and 'venir de'?

Are these sentences correct?

Je suis de France/ Je suis de la France/ Je suis du Japon

Can 'être de' be followed by state/city/region/direction (le Nord, L'Est)?
