In an earlier lesson, we learned that for normal verbs, inversion is usually too formal. People usually say the sentence with an upward inflection or use Est-ce que.

Is that not so in the case of reflexive verbs?

Bonjour Kwiziq Experts !

A rule from the lesson states- 

Adverbial pronouns en/y are placed after moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur  and moi/toi become m' and t’

Can it be elaborated by using the following- en/ y are placed after moi/toi/lui/l’/nous/vous/leur/les.

Accompagne-l’y ! -> Accompany him there ! (Here, l’ is a direct object which is better as compared to lui)

Conduis-les-y ! -> Drive them there ! (Here too, les is a direct object used instead of leur)

Just curious to know whether direct object too satisfy this rule or only indirect object pronouns could be used before en/y .

Merci encore !

Please post vocabulary for basic maths here. It only says "manger" in the vocab when the topic is basic maths.

Why can't I say "Nous faisons du progrès."  Do I have to say "des progrès"?

I understand une dizaine means 10 or so.  As do all the other examples in the lesson.  Therefore, what is the difference with the last example?

Je veux deux douzaines de pommes....  Why does this also not mean:

I want two dozen or so/or approximately - apples>  ?

Thank you.

Why do we say "J'adore la France" but "J'aime Paris" ? Why dont we need to add "le" before "Paris"? 

I found a sentence "Voyons ce qu’a fait Caillou aujourd’hui."

I wonder why it is not "Voyons ce que Caillou a fait aujourd’hui."

Hi, in a reversed expression such as

Qu'est-ce qui te plaît chez Anna ?

which is the subject and which is the object? 

I’m guessing that the subject is that aspect of Anna’s personality which causes ‘you’ to like her. Therefore, since ‘you’ receive pleasure from that part of her personality, ‘you’ are the object. 

Is that correct?

Thanks in advance!
