C'est vrai, cette histoire?

Bonjour! Est-ce qu'une histoire vraie ou juste une vraie histoire? Je ne pouvais pas trouver une chaine s'appelait "Le Royaume des Jouets" sur Youtube!

Doubt in the phrases

Bonjour Madame Cécile,

In the lesson, there are two sentences as-

“Je suis en classe.” And “Je suis dans la classe.” I am unable to understand the difference in both of them as how the first is a general statement and the second is for a specific location . Please expain the reason in a little detail. I will be really grateful.

Merci d’avance.

(Madame, I have gone through the discussions but am still perplexed.)

"Prepositions + qui, lequel, laquelle, etc"

Can someone please let me know why is the word "etc" in the heading of this lesson? Are we talking about pronouns other than those stated?

Upper case letters with accents

Hi there,

I just did one test and I got a half score because I dropped an accent from an upper case É. I learnt that you don't put accents on upper case letters somewhere before. What is the correct way?

Thanks,

Verbs and expressions with de https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/de-vs-du-de-la-des-verbs/

in the lesson, there is an example "Il s’agit de la réforme agraire"

the answer is given that With a modified, specific noun, use de + definite article.

The English translation is given as "It’s a question of land reform" which seems to me to be a non-specific noun.

Can anyone explain why land reform is a specific noun in this case, when in English it appears to be a non-specific noun in this case, i.e. a general question of land reform, not "It's a question of the land reform introduced in the 2017 amendments."

All the other specific noun examples appear to use the definite article in the English translation
