Ne... pas encore + articleBonjour Madame Cécile !
A sentence came up while I was reviewing the lesson-
Il a déjà acheté un nouvel appartement.
To form the negative, I think it should be-
Il n’a pas encore acheté de nouvel appartement.
I had read the rule in the following lesson that “un” changes to “de” in negative sentences-
Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)
But, will “un” change to “de” in this negation ? Because, there is an adjective after “un” ?
Is this an exceptional case where the above mentioned rule does not apply as it happens for “Verbs of State” ?
Merci en avance ! Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
À bientôt !
Can Faire also be used with musical instruments similar to Jouer? Like -
- Je fais du violon.
- Je fais de la guitare.
- Je fais de la flûte.
Can Faire & Jouer be used interchangeably with musical instruments? Or is there any exception to this?

Both si and tellement are used for so. Are thee interchangeable or is there a preferred context for use?
I did not understand the differences in how "to take care of" translates into french?
I recently saw a rule that confuses me regarding qualitative adjectives. It says absolute qualities should not be modified by additional adjectives if they are comparative or superlative.
One example was "delicieux", it is an absolute quality and one should not say "c'est tres delicieux". To me, this makes no sense. If true, many people break the rule. Plus, I don't consider "tres" a comparative or superlative. Some of the other examples given were "éternel, parfait & admirable". I did a lot of searching and can find no other references, but I may be missing a magic keyword. I would ignore it except that the source is usually good and it was in the context of "very common French errors"
The rule does seem to make sense with some adjectives, from an English perspective. One would not say something is "very eternal", it's either eternal or it's not. I don't see delicious the same way.
Am I misunderstanding this? Can someone clarify?
When I have moved up a level, from what I understand Kwiziq will not test me on anything from previous levels unless I switch back to the level. My general question is this: how often do people review and improve previous levels? But more specifically:
I think I read on here somewhere that the suggested time to move up is when you achieve 75% in a level. Is it recommended to return often, e.g. every day or two, until getting it up to 100%, or less frequently?
Finally, when lower levels are at 100%, how often is it recommended to return to them?
