So many questions on this topic!! t seems to me that there is so much to think about with these avoir/être issues is simply to remember the one rule.

Use etre when it's followed by a preposition and avoir when it's followed by a noun.

SENTIR Conjugaison

Salut!

I would like to suggest to please include conjugaison of sentir in this lesson, since it's about sentir in the first place. Thanks!

français et le français.

Why is it "J'aime le français" (with le) and "Je parle français" (without le)?

Why "vous aurez" and Not "tu auras".________ ta chambre, nous irons au cinéma.When you've tidied up your room, we'll go to the cinema.I answered "Quand vous aurez rangé" and the correct answer given was "Quand tu auras rangé" . There is no indication in the question to the use of singular or plural ! In fact the use of "nous" indicates to the use of "formal".

Bon soir. On the video in this lesson I would like to see if I understood well. On fait que ce l'on peut. Mange-t-on du riz. The "l" is used to avoid two vowels crashing into eachother and the "t" ??? I've seen the "t" more often than the "l". They are only for a more harmonious flow of the spoken language, but how do you know which to use when?

Ignorer vs Tenir en compte

I thought "ignorer" was one of those false friends and actually meant "not to know" rather than "ignore".

Can you clarify? Thanks.

Nous sommes or on est

I’m not sure why there is a distinction in the translation of ‘we went to a wedding’ and ‘anyone we know’. Can anyone explain the different usages here?
