Clarification of grammar guideline from the lessonI don't understand the following guideline given in the lesson: "If the main verb is NOT used with negations, then you CANNOT use the ne explétif." Could you possibly clarify?

Well, not a question on this theme exactly, but also about adjectives.

Hi, The question might not be completely relevant to this topic. While using direct and indirect object pronouns for them (les/leur) .We check whether a preposition is used to seperate the object to decide whether it's direct or indirect. But how do we know when to use a preposition (for eg- "a parle" (so we use leur), for "conduire" we don't use a preposition (so it becomes les)).

Where does the comptine come from?

Does this originate from France? Is there a melody?

Bonjour. In the audio "Dóu venez-vous? Nous venons du Texas" Nous venons sounds kind of strange in the beginning

Ce dont, tout ce dont??

Do you have any lessons about ce done and tout ce dont planned at this time? I'm have a lot of trouble with those.

I am very confused by the meaning of 'Je n'ai plus qu'à toucher ta bille'

I looked it up so know that it means "I just have to touch your marble" but can this be explained on how it means that? Why is plus included in this ?

Thanks!

I was marked incorrect for: "Combien ça coute ?" for How much does that cost. Shouldn't Combien ca coute or Combien cela coute? work just as well?

I have other shoes

Bonjour,

If you can't say "j'ai d'autres chaussures", how then would you express "I have other shoes".

Merci.
