"Ajoutez les anchois, les olives noires le basilic à la salade." Also, the English version had "and the basil". Also, no comma between "noires" and "le basilique". Do the French not use "and" when indicating the last member of a list eg "John, Mary and Fred"?

Could you say "Ils sucent encore le pouce"?

In the lesson "Using le, la, les with body parts and clothing (definite articles)", the definite article is used instead of the possessive.

One of the examples in that lesson:

Ils ont les yeux fermésThey have their eyes closed

Following that example, we'd come up with "Ils sucent encore le pouce" instead of "Ils sucent encore leur pouce".

Bonjour - can someone take a look at this and advise if correct?

Ma mère est bien. Mais je crois que mon père est généralement mieux que ma mère, parce qu’il a une bonne disposition.

Vous nagez très bien. En fait, je pense que vous nagez peut-être mieux que tous les autres. Vous nagez le mieux, il n’y a aucune question à propos de ça.

Merci d'avance.
