Why, in “Nous courons pour ne pas manquer notre train.”, do we have “ne pas manquer” and not “ne manquer pas”? I didn’t know that “ne pas” is valid. 

This is the original sentence. Il pourra bientôt parler russe

But are the following two also correct?

Il pourra parler russe bientôt

Il pourra parler bientôt russe

Bonjour Madame Cécile,

If the sentence is given as " J'en ai acheté. "

Then, the question for this sentence would be as

1. Qu'as-tu acheté ? OR 2. As-tu acheté du pain ?

Madame , Please confirm which one of the following questions is correct.

Merci d'avance 

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

The verb “éviter” as was asked in a quiz stated-

Oui, évitons-.......... une situation embarrassante !

(Yes, let’s avoid them an awkward situation !)

The accepted answer stated - leur as opposed to les (answered by me)

So is it that the correct expression is-

Éviter à quelqu’un -> To avoid someone ? (Indirect object pronouns)

And then about things, would one say-

Éviter quelque chose -> To avoid something ? (Direct Object Pronouns)

Merci pour votre réponse!

Cordialement, Shrey.

This was fun, made me hungry. 

Why are the fruit in : "les sorbets au citron et à la fraise" singular, while in the pie "aux framboises" they are plural?

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

Is there a way to target a specific language point?  For example, if I look at an explanation of a particular point, then 'notebook' it, sometimes there is a mini kwiz below, but is it possible to get more practice on one particular topic?
