Il veut que j'aille acheter du lait vs

Hi. For the sentence, "Il veut que j'aille acheter du lait." can it be substituted for "il me veut aller acheter du lait" ? Or is this sentence incorrect?

I wrote "faire des magasins."

Is that wrong? Perhaps you can't have two infinitives together? I thought faire des was the way to express going shopping.

"C'est deux anciennes maison..."

The translation for "C'est deux anciennes maison..." is "There are two old houses."

According to the lesson "ancien=former/old," when "ancien" comes before the noun, it means "former."

Is there a situation when "ancien" comes before the noun, and it means "old"?

So i just took the little quiz in the end and I got one wrong because I checked an option that included 'we'. How do you know whether it is plural or singular besides looking at the verb ending or the article? Thank you so much!

l'adjectif marron et l'accord

Bonjour!

Pourquoi ici est-ce que l'adjectif "marron" ne s'accorde pas avec le nom féminin "la jupe"?

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse!

Why is "dessus" not mentioned? Doesn't it mean "on top of"?

That day you kept your word - test questionHello, based on the lesson, it would appear that an article or a possessive adjective is either required or at least optional but i was marked incorrect for the answer:

Ce jour-là tu as retenu la parole.

and the only accepted answer was:

Ce jour-là tu as retenu parole.

Could someone advise on why the former is incorrect? Is it idiomatic?

thanks

I love you with all my heart

Hi,

Can you kindly explain the use of the preposition in the following sentence.

In a phrase 'je t'aime de tout mon cœur' that translates to 'I love you with all my heart', why do we use preposition DE to express WITH rather more commonly use AVEC.

Kind regards, Kirill
