"Note that the latter structure sounds very formal in French! In everyday language, you would usually use one of the alternatives listed below."

How would the structure look like for alternative form look like?

"Le couteau, dont Marc a cassé le manche, est bleu." What/who is blue?

vs

"Le couteau, que Marc a cassé le manche, est bleu." What/who is blue?

What would be the difference between dont and que here? 

The sentence is: he loves his Mum. How the hell is "aime" right and "aime beaucoup" wrong, especially given the inanity of "aime bien" meaning not "LOVE" but "LIKE"?

Hi Dear Folk,

Do you how to say, "the very benefits"  in French?

Of the bellow translation, which is the appopriate translation of "According to the 2017 State of American Vacation study"?

Selon l’étude sur l’état des vacances aux États-Unis de 2017 or Selon l'étude menée en 2017 sur l'état des vacances en Amérique.

Ils ________ demeuré à la campagne l'été dernier.They stayed in the countryside last summer.

For me, it is obvious that you should use "avoir" as "demeuré" does not agree in number with "ils". Perhaps if the subject pronoun were singular more care and thought would be required in deciding whether the verb is "être" or "avoir". Just a thought!

Why is amener included in this example: Nous aménerons/amènerons Louise avec nous.

When is amener conjugated with anything other than an accent grave?

I've always been baffled about when a hyper is used as in this interview "As-tu..."  Je bison d'aide!
