Memories are so precious and pure. Childhood memories are special for everyone. I have a lot of fond memories from my childhood and I love looking back on the good times. Even though, having grown up as a child, I had a fairly uneventful life. My parents were never really home. So I could basically do whatever I wanted to. Someone came to prepare the food. I usually came back at 4:30 p.m. and had lunch afterwards. I loved watching cartoons so much that I would stay up late at night just to watch cartoons. I always tried to study hard for my parents. My mom came back on weekends and my dad came once a month. I vividly remember going to dinner with my parents every time my dad came home. It was a time of celebration for all of us when a family got together and we were just happy in our own bubble. I will always cherish my childhood memories, forever.

Use pronom démonostratif
There were two examples of phrases where the French reversed the order of the adjectives as they appeared in English (autobiographical feminist manifesto = manifeste féministe autobiographique; unforgettable literary experience = expérience littéraire inoubliable). Is there any kind of rule to this sequencing?
Why is it "la maison" rather than "ma maison"?
Would the following also be a correct translation?
J’ai dû me résigner à appeler un taxi
as an alternative to: -
il a fallu que je me résigne à appeler un taxi
This is the first lesson I can't work out the difference between the two structures something + "plaît à..." versus the reflexive something + "me plaisent."
Both descriptions say they are to like something, I can't work out when to use which structure. I've re-read the lesson about 3 times, so I'm looking for additional clarification..
Since one can use à or en with vélo, does that mean one can also use both with bicyclette?
Bonjour!
I was wondering when listening to the sound Tu is it me or does it sound like when you say je?
Thank you

reverso gives an etre and an avoir form for grossir. As this is intransitive in the sense that he has put on weight himself, I assumed it was the etre form? You marked it wrong.
