Demonstrative pronouns, L’Imparfait et PrépositionsBonjour Madame Cécile !
Apologies for posting another query, but of late, I have been testing on a few grammatical concepts at Kwiziq—
1. Ces fleurs sont jolies mais ______ sont les plus chères. (ce/ celles/celles-là)
Here, I opted for “ce” because of the expression “ce sont” however “celles-là” is correct. Why, Madame ?
2. Quand elles travaillaient pour IBM, elles (se marier déjà).
I had conjugated in the “L’Imparfait” as ‘se mariaient déjà’ in the sense of “were married”.
But, the answer was in Le Plus-que-Parfait. Why has Past perfect been used ?
3. Le bateau est _______ lac. (au milieu du/au bord du) Can’t “au bord de” be used with a lake or is it specifically for “au bord de la mer.”
Merci Madame Cécile !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
Hi, I am confused as to when to pronounce the t in vingt, for example, in vingt-deux, vingt-cinq? In some videos and sites I hear them pronounce it, in some I don't. So when do we exactly? Or are both acceptable?
pourquoi est incroyable devant la vue
Il a gagné la course, qui est impressionnante.He won the amazing race.
Dans le deuxième, c'est la course qui est impressionnante. C'était la course qui était impressionnants, pas qu'il l'a gagné.
Est-ce-que correct, ce logique ?
I had a test question to fill in the blanks: comment ___ vos enfants?
I put : vont-ils
The answer is : vont
I don't understand why I am wrong. If so, how to express the same meaning with inverted question? Thanks.

So a sentence like "My friends came and they were all happy," can be translated in two different ways?
Mes amis sont venus et tous étaient contents.
Mes amis sont venus et ils étaient tous contents.
Is this then just a stylistic difference, or do these differ semantically as well?
Hi guys, just a bit confused on that example
so the rule is that:adjective is placed BEFORE a plural noun,
so in that example, obviously ‘beaux’ is placed before a plural noun, so why doesn’t it mean ‘I buy SOME nice sheets’ instead of I buy nice sheets?
thanks!
