Bonjour Cécile,
In the lesson, a sentence has been given
"La vanille,c'est bon,mais le chocolat,c'est meilleur."
If the sentence is inversed,as-
"Le chocolat,c'est bon,mais la vanille,c'est meilleure."
Would in this case "meilleur" be used or "meilleure"?
Please explain the reason behind it also.
Merci d'avance.
To say "I liked spending time with you" which is the correct answer, or can they both be correct?
a) J'ai aimé...
b) J'ai bien aimé...
Tôt is wrong to say you are early today? Why?
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.
In a recent test I was asked to complete the following; Yves a les yeux…….( Yves has brown eyes). I wrote Yves a les yeux bruns which was deemed incorrect; why? My Harraps French English Dictionary assures me that either brun or marron can be used in this context.
Can someone explain to me if it is only jeter and appeler that follow the pattern of becoming jetter- and appelle- in the future tense?
Do all other verbs ending as -eter and -eler follow the pattern of becoming -èter- and -èler- in the future tense
In one of the answers to a question in the corresponding lesson regarding articles for countries, Cécile advises that Israel and some random island countries like Malta, Cyprus, Haiti and Cuba do NOT take an article (le, la, les or l’). From the above exercise it appears that Monaco is also included on this small list of countries without a gender. Just out of interest, does anyone know why Monaco doesn’t have one? I wondered if it was because it’s just an abbreviation of la Principauté de Monaco? (But then again, the names of most countries are abbreviations of their official names, so that doesn’t help us to decide whether to add an article, and maybe it’s just something we have to learn individually for each country)
"The main difference with qu'est-ce que is that this alternative form is never followed by the inverted form when using subject pronouns: " To reword, does this mean that 'qu'est-ce que' cannot be followed by an inversion?
Hello,
Does kwiziq by chance have a list of verbs that typically go with à? I would find this really helpful. Thanks!

<< Vous les montrez à mon père et vous ________ ensuite. >>
The answer is : << me les montrez >>
Why isn't << les montrez à moi >> allowed in this case?
