Common exceptionsThe lesson states "Most verbs ending -ir in Le Présent (Present Tense) conjugate like this:" but sortir, mentir and partir are very comon verbs endng in -ir that have a different rule so shouldn't the lesson discuss both groups smultaneously, otherwise a student gets misled until sometime later when the other is introduced with a similarly simplistic description.

"Nous nous sentons" versus "nous sentons" I completed a fill in the blank sentence as "Nous nous sentons la friture" and it was considered correct for "We smell like fried food". However, an alternative answer was also suggested, "Nous sentons la friture". From what I understand now, it seems that "Nous sentons la friture" is the usual way to say this.

Is "Nous nous sentons", in this situation, just a matter of emphasizing the point?

Certains d'entre eux voulaient au cinéma.Bien que j'étudie le français pendant plus que deux ans, j'ai toujours un problème avec l'imparfait et le passé composé. Ma questionne est pourquoi avez-vous utilisé l'imparfait au lieu de le passé composé. Ou sont-elles tous les deux une possiblité dans cette phrase. Au fait, <au lieu de le passé composé> ne me paraît pas d'être correct...dans mon avis.
