Gender of "personne"A typo in the lesson. Personne n’est encore arrivé. Shouldn’t it be arrivée with an ‘accorded’ “e” as personne is feminine ? Merci !

Is this expression being overused in KwiziqThis expression keeps coming up in these quiz questions. Usually it is in a choose-one-from-list situation where it is indeed the best choice. But isn't it misleading since many of these cases would normally be adequately translated using Le Present since the emphasis on the continuous nature of the action is not required?

Wrong translation (I think)

1. I think the translation of this sentence is wrong

On ne doit pas penser qu'à soi : One mustn't think only of oneself.

2.For me, it must be like this:

One must think only of oneself.

Bonjour à tous et toutes:

J'aimerais bien poser une question qui concern l'expression "sauter le pas". J'ai appris que cet expression signifie qu'on a décidé de se marier. J'aurais dire "jeter à l'eau", n'est pas? Je pense que cet expression est utilisé lorsqu'on parle d'un couple. Le deux veut-dire "take the plunge" en anglais. Seulement une observation. Don

Doubt in comparative form of 'bien'

Bonjour Madame,

In the sentence given in the lesson as

"Ta téle est bien mais la mienne est mieux"

In this sentence although the comparative form of 'bien' has been used but then also ' que' has not been used;though here 'mieux' is I think has been used as an adjective.

Mam,Pls guide the reason behind not writing 'que'

Thanks
