How is «I eat neither apples nor pears»  in the test I just did, significantly different to  «I like neither cheese nor milk»? There is nothing at all that I can see in the construction of these sentences that gives a clue that the first is «Je ne mange ni pommes ni poires» while the second is «Je n'aime ni le fromage ni le lait» ie one uses definite article and one doesn't. If there is something special about the verb «aimer» or «manger» this needs to be detailed - but it is not. Perhaps one of the translations is 'wrong', noting that the French could be «I eat/I like» or «I am eating/I am liking». Nothing in this lesson clarifies this either, despite multiple comments and complaints that it is poorly discussed, and the examples are unsatisfactory. 

The questions regarding the quiz for this lesson don't take into account singular they.

"Il faut manger", could absolutely be translated as "They must eat." unless there's something I'm missing.

Should the title include the word "de" (faire exprès de)?  Right now it just shows faire exprès.  Thank you.

Bonjour, je dois dire: "ç'est celui que j'aime plus" ou "ç'est ce que j'aime plus"? Merci a tous.

Bonjour,

Je suis alle ( mon ordi ne peut pas faire les accents :/ ) a une ecole d'immersion et les profs ont toujours dit le .  Est-ce-que ce terme est acceptable?

Cordiallement,

Andrea

I'm not clear on the rule for verb conjugation when the subject has a name e.g., James, and then what when 2 named subjects - James and Martha (mixed gender) are doing the same thing, does that differ in terms of conjugation rules? and then what about plural same gender or mixed group?

Wondering why it is bourgeons éclore rather than éclorent

Merci pour votre réponse
