does this sentence need a verb after d'autres? " J'ai trouve le supermarche mais je cherche toujours d'autres magasins specialisesPardon the lack of accents, can't get the keyboard to change. I was practicing using indefinite pronouns and adjectives. In the above sentence I was marked wrong by the teacher because I didn't have a verb after d'autres. In english I wanted to say I found the supermarket but I'm still looking for other specialty stores.

Hello, I don't see any reference to "Il y a" so just to check. Can you say: "In n'y a plus de pommes?"

ou avec "exister"

"Il n'existe plus de chocolat?

Sorry, I pressed enter on previous question, please ignore.

Clarifying my understanding

"The main difference with qu'est-ce que is that this alternative form is never followed by the inverted form when using subject pronouns: "  To reword, does this mean that 'qu'est-ce que' cannot be followed by an inversion?

These constructions are REALLY difficult. I would have to use them daily for weeks to keep them straight. The quiz needs many more questions imo.

Ted's Question

I'm also looking forward to an answer to Ted's question below. In addition, the lesson contains the heading 

VERBS IN -EXER, -ETER AND -ELER (È) :

  If in Exer the x stands for any other letter, that would include eler and eter, so why does the heading expressly state them?

Il a des yeux bleus

Why is it des and not les?  Could you point me towards the lesson that explains this?

Se coucher meanings

Do we use "se coucher" with "the sun sets at 9" as in "Le soleil se couche à 9h"? If so, may be worth mentioning in the lesson.

Doubt in accords

Bonjour Cécile,

I have observed that while writing passé composé,two types of sentences are possible-

1.Où êtes-vous allé en vacances?

2.Où êtes-vous allés en vacances?

Why has the extra "s" been added in second sentence although both are congucated with "vous" form?

Pls guide with this rule.

Thanks in advance

Also Madame Pls spare some time of yours to answer the below query of mine asked 3 days ago-

Merci beaucoup Madame.

I’m confused with the translation above: how would you say “we don’t have to eat with our hands”?
