Imperative constructionOne of the test answers is "Rappelle-moi de tout cacher," but I don't see that construction here in the lesson. Since that is probably the most common way I use the word "remind", it would be nice to see how it fits in with the others on this page.

aller & infinitive

hello. i think this is very misleading of you again with regard to aller plus infinitive..

you ask : how to translate : he is going to sell his motorbike.

i would naturally want to use aller. so, il va vendre

but then you write [ to sell ] 'vendre' in le Futur Proche. strongly suggesting you want us to use the future tense of vendre.

but no, the answer you give is il va vendre, not the future tense of vendre but the future tense of aller.

this is very confusing.

Penser with tonic/stressed pronounsI'm not sure that it is correct to use a stressed pronoun for the first and second persons with the verb penser.

Is it correct to write "Je te pense" or to write "je pense à toi" ?

I suspect that the former could be misunderstood that the indirect object pronoun "te" might represent the preposition "de" and therefore change the intended meaning?

I'm thinking that we only use the stressed / tonic pronouns with the third person?

Can someone clear this matter up for me, please?

Avoir [nombre] ans = To be [number] years old

Shouldn't this be changed to the below to avoid any confusion?

Avoir [nombre] ans = To have [number] years

Rosa and "ne craint" again

Bonjour,

I have a question regarding the same sentence another person posted about. "Rosa craint que nous n'allions en vacances." This confuses me as well, because I took it to mean "Rosa is afraid we might go on vacation." Is that correct? That is not what it shows for an answer in the quiz. It says "Rosa fears we might never go..." But if ne has no negative value, it cannot mean never.

Merci,

Lisa

Asking negative vs positive questions

Am i understanding the lesson correctly by following the below example for the following translation?

English: How can I not go? Here, i'm intending to mean the sense that I don't want to go, am searching for a reason to not go, but i need to go or am required to go, etc.

Would that be: comment puis-je ne pas aller ?

Merci!
