Isn't there a commonly used or a popular option from the 2 duplicates? Maybe a little asterisk could go a long way for newbies like me :)

My dictionaries show les soldes as masculine. Is either correct?

Vous laissez tomber = You drop? Is that a valid alternative?

You're washing yourself! (i.e. You do it on your own!)

I thought when it means on your own it is 'tout seul'. Is this phrase idiomatic, and doesn't necessary mean 'washing'? I am confused with i.e. you do it on your own. For example, can I use this phrase to say a kid baked a cake on his own?

e.g.) not only is it sweet, it's also sour!

The following sentence is given as an example in a dictionary explanation for "le lendemain".

"Il a été décrété que le lendemain serait un jour férié".

Is this sentence grammatically incorrect because it uses the conjugated verb serait after le lendemain?

Bonjour Madame !

I would like to ask a question regarding two sentences provided by Kwizbot during my test. I believe you would answer it.

1. Paul, lequel elle fait confiance à, est un menteur.

2. La femme qui j’écris à s’appelle Josiane.

These sentences were to be marked incorrect. But, will the correct sentences be as follows-

- Paul, auquel/ à qui elle fait confiance, est un menteur.

- La femme à qui/ à laquelle j’écris, s’appelle Josaine.  

Merci pour répondre à ma question. 

Shouldn't both "c'est" and, "elle est" be correct answers, since the question is ambiguous about whether it's asking, "do you like school [in general]" or, "do you like _the_ school [which you attend]?"
