ils peignent leurs cheveux, ils peignent un tableau. Are these different verbs with a double meaing?  To comb and to paint.

What do you mean by éXer verbs - you talk about them and then use "Completer" as an example -but completer doesn't end in éxer.

For the sentence, - J'ai plein de parfums !, would - J'ai de nombreux parfums ! be acceptable.  It was not given as an alternate.

Salut,

J'ai une question à propros de l'usage du subjonctif dans la phrase suivante:

"... malgré le fait que sa technique puisse encore s'améliorer..."

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on l'utilise dans ce cas?

Favori and préféré are adjectives that can mostly be used interchangeably, meaning favorite. 

In what cases are they NOT interchangeable? When do you need to use one over the other?

Is there a difference between a swimsuit for a boy and a swimsuit for a girl?  For example in English boys wear swim shorts or swim trunks is there a separate word for that in French? Thanks

Ce jour la , il (faire) froid

Contrary to previous comments below in response to Dragana and Danica - this line can indeed translate as I am looking forward to the 31st (ie New Year's Eve in this case), which fits exactly the context of this story. It is not the expression "d'étre sur son 31" which would translate as  '(to be) dressed up to the nines'

Okay?...So if you are speaking about "the" other options then des autres is correct?  And if it is about other options then d'autres?  Or if you are talking about specific options right in front of you is it then les autres?  I sometimes think French was conceived in order to confuse all other non-native speakers!  Please try again to explain.

Thank you.
