position of "jamais rien" relative to "dit"Hi,

I am not clear about the position of "jamais rien" in these sentences below. Sentence #1 is listed as the correct answer - but it seems that the order of "jamais rien" in the second sentence is similar to examples shown in the lesson.

SENTENCE #1 Il ne dit jamais rien à personne.

SENTENCE #2 (my answer) Il ne jamais rien dit à personne.

Help, please! Thanks

Why is it "vraie cuisine" instead of "cuisine vraie" when the lesson on this says that "vrai" after the noun means "real" or "true"?

Mon menu va vous en mettre plein la vue

OK, here goes my attempt at a literal breakdown of this idiomatic turn of phrase. "The menu is going to put you in full view of all there is." So, what exactly does "en" mean or refer to in this sentence? If the contraction "en" were not used, how would the sentence appear?: "Mon menu va vous mettre plein la vue de ...(quoi)"?

Adjectif apposé?

Salut,

Je préfère la chaleur parce que je suis frileuse.

Mes questions:

1: Comment ça se fait que "descend" est suivi par "de" dans le text?

2: Je pense que "petit" est un adjectif apposé, mais où est le nom qu'il complète?

Merci

the usage of l'indicatif after "que" for "comment ça se fait que"

Bonjour,

Recently, I saw a video by a French prof saying that we use l'indicatif after the pronom relatif "que" in "comment ça se fait que" for an informal conversation.

Is it correct?

Thank you very much for your response!!!

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,

Rester à les regarder

Another verb + preposition question. Why is it "rester à les regarder" instead of "rester pour les regarder"?
