What is the differ between notre, no circumflex accent, and nôtre, with accent. 

In the A1 writing challenge "Learning the guitar" the question

"because I find that it's a soothing instrument"

suggests the answer

"car je trouve cet instrument apaisant."

which I can see is very elegant but why is my answer incorrect:

"car je la trouve d'être un instrument apaisant"

I can find other examples on the web of similar usage such this:

"...que nous avons trouvé d'être un trait distinctif..."

Hello, 

Does kwiziq by chance have a list of verbs that typically go with à? I would find this really helpful. Thanks!

Bonjour à tous ! I did a bit of the research and I would say le Dauphin and Charles d’Orléans are two different people. Le Dauphin, the son of Charles VI and Isabeau of Bavaria, became indeed Charles VII but Charles d’Orléans is the son of the assassinated Louis I d’Orléans, Duke of Orléans. 

Tôt is wrong to say you are early today? Why? 

Hi Aurélie,

I notice a few people have asked the same question about the sentence - Tu lui as parlé' being translated as 'You talked to her' but parlé not agreeing with a feminine ‘lui’. You have said that the past participle doesn’t agree with an indirect object pronoun, and refer people to the advanced lesson: Special cases where the past participle agrees...  However that lesson only talks about direct object pronouns and doesn’t actually say that the past participle doesn’t agree with an indirect object pronouns. I wondered if - for completeness and clarity - you could add that to the lesson, if it is not covered elsewhere. Many thanks. 

Why don't we need to put 'être' in front of the word 'sale' and 'en bataille'?
