Minor english correction

Hi,

This sentence on this page, "You do not need use the partitive articles" is missing the word "to" between the "need" and "use".

Just figured since you are helping me with my french, I'd help you with the english :)

when to use aimer/adorerI'm still struggling to get my head around the nuances of aimer and adorer, even though I have read through the lesson a number of times. Can anyone suggest a useful additional resource to help me?

Please present passé composé for this lesson I think this lesson could be presented more clearly if conjugations for both present tense and passé composé were given for each item.

One doesn't "say" a lie in English, one "tells" a lie. Likewise, one doesn't "say" the truth, one "tells" it.

Re: Doubt in Concordance des Temps

Past of the past - Le Plus-que-parfait

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

J’avais dû en racheter un nouveau après que Patrick avait cassé le mien.

This sentence is an example from a lesson. Here, plus-que-parfait has been used in both the verbs. Though the action of breaking took place first and then came the necessity to buy a new one.

Would you like to explain how these two cases can be both Le plus-que-parfait ? Here, one action precedes the other so can one be in Passé Composé and other in Le Plus-que-Parfait ?

I can’t work out when it is “ce qui/ce que” or “qui/que”… I.e. when does “Ce” go in front of qui/que? Thank you
