Rester à les regarder

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

Translation/Spelling of Cinnamon = Cannelle or Canelle?

Hello, Here in Canada the usual translation of cinnamon is "cannelle" but I see in this exercise it is shown as "canelle" with just one 'n'. Can you please let me know if this is an alternate spelling or perhaps, a regional difference? Thank you in advance.

As always, your exercises and site are terrific and very much appreciated! :-)

Confusing depuis vs pendantWhat is the correct way to say "I have played football since 2001." in French. I thought it should be j'ai joué au foot pendant 2001 considering pendant is only used for events that happened in the past or future with no link to the present. "I have played" doesn't necessarily mean "I'm still playing" , whereas if the question said "i have been playing", then it would definitely be "depuis"

: Je joue au foot depuis 2001.

les unsLes enfants sont pleins d'énergie: les uns courent, les autres crient.

In this context, could you also use 'certains courent, les autres crient' ?

thank you

Imperative constructionOne of the test answers is "Rappelle-moi de tout cacher," but I don't see that construction here in the lesson. Since that is probably the most common way I use the word "remind", it would be nice to see how it fits in with the others on this page.

Bonjour,

In the examples on the right you say in number 4 on the second row:

C'est bientôt les vacances!
It's the holidays soon!

But in explaining the lesson you say:

Ce sont bientôt les vacances!
It's the holidays soon!

Which is correct?!

Thank you.
