C’est/Ce sont vs Il/elle estThis is from the lesson- c’est is used when making statements or giving opinions about something in general or nonspecific. The adjective that follows is always masculine. (Sorry, it’s in my notes so not sure if direct quote but probably is.)
Question: Is it not only always masculine but singular as well?
Eg. Tu aimes les montagnes? = You like mountains? (In general)
Would it be - Oui, c’est magnifique!
This question is not specifically in the above lessons:
My understanding is you use il/elle est or ils/elles sont with unmodified religions, nationalities or professions. Is this correct?
Il est professeur. Elles sont catholiques.
BUT if the noun is modified, then use c’est or ce sont plus an article/determiner. Is this correct?
C’est un professeur d’histoire. Ce sont mes amies françaises.
Thank you for your help!
À or Dans le campagne when do you use à la campagne, when do you say dans la campagne?
Is this right
Les nouveaux voisins sont arrives.
Les nouvelles voisines sont arrives.
Sorry I can't work the accent for arrives.
Elle veut que son français soit parfait !
English translation here is: She wants her french to be perfect!
This is confusing: if Le Subjonctif has 2 different subjects - then is she wanting her own french to be perfect (which would not be Subjonctif)or someone else's (like her daugthter's or her female friend or the professor wants the student's french to be perfect)?
My question is.. What is the meaning of il est vraiment bon aujourdhui " when we only use faire for weather..

A quiz question has this answer:
"Qu'est-ce qui a changé entre nous ?"
Why there's no liaison after "qui", like "... qu'a changé..."?
