The translation in English is "but I'm not against the idea" - why is "the idea" omitted? 

I have gotten this same question wrong several times and I still don't know why.  "Les mêmes scientifiques".  It is an adjective which should agree in number with the plural "scientifiques".  Please help  Thanks, Patti 

Hi, the L in 'l'ai dit', is this just there to separate the vowels, or is it actually a pronoun? Doesn't really make much sense as a pronoun?

I'm thinking there may be a mistake in the translation of this phrase:

"mais la Tour Eiffel s'incline face au vent"

The translation is given as "the Eiffel Tower tilts into the wind" but this doesn't make sense from a scientific point of view!

Hi, why does “the que before the penser” (b) & (c) become “a quoi after the penser” (a)?

(a) “Et vous, vous pensez QUOI des selfies ?”

(b) “Et vous, QUE pensez-vous des selfies ?”

(c) “Et vous, QU'est-ce que vous pensez des selfies ?”

Let's say I am discussing the Japanese in general (not some specific Japanese people) with my friend, and I think they are creative, should I say : Ce sont créatifs or Ils sont créatifs?
