Hello,
"Il faut que je prenne un rendez-vous à la banque"
In spoken french, is it more common to drop the indefinite article when making an appointment. i.e prendre rendez-vous rather than prendre un rendez-vous? What's most common in everyday spoken french?

Bonjour,
Shouldn't the phrase "meme si je sais que c'est le repas le plus important de la journee" be "meme si je sais qu'il est le repas le plus important de la journee" because we are referring to something specific? (breakfast)
Merci.
In the text "Thank you. Would you like store credit" The answer given translates to "coupon" and not store credit . Every where I searched converts "store credit" to Crédit du magasin.
in this context, if you were speaking of yourself and your partner, would you use 'on'? I thought that on was used as a more general term as we can use 'one' in English.
Hi Kwiziq,
I have noticed a few new lessons show up but then dissapear, e.g. meaning of Pauvre.
If these are yet to be released lessons then thats fine, I just wondered if these was a problem with my subscription.
Great work as usual !
I understand that the general rule of thumb is to use "c'est" when followed by a noun (even when qualified by an adjective) and "il / elle est" when followed by an adjective - so why is it "C'est nuageux" rather than Il est nuageux." Is it to do with 'the weather' being inanimate and non specific? Or something else?
I wrote 'les chauves-souris' . Your text was 'les chauve-souris'. After completion of the dictee, I checked dictionaries which add s to chauve in the plural form. ??
