“Elles ne l’ont pas fait exprès” does NOT follow the direct object rule, and the lesson states this clearly. Is this because this is a case of le/la referring to a concept, so it’s not a direct object? Could their be a sentence in which a direct object would be used, and therefore require agreement?
Quiz Question:
Nous avons couru aussi vite que avons pu ! (We ran as fast as we could!)
Why is there no "nous" subject pronoun following que?
In Part 3 : La seule chose qu'elle nous a laissé faire, ce sont les carreaux, here "les carreaux" has been translated as "the windows" and I think that may be an error. Or are they a particular type of window that she had in her room that she didn't know how to clean?
Le rose va à ma sœur. Pink suits my sister. To say “Pink suits her”. Would it be: Le rose la va. I base this on the quiz... Ces chassures nous vont. (Correct). Ces chassures vont á nous. (Incorrect)
As per Danilo's comment previously, (~11 months ago) it would be helpful with the examples for parler/finir/faire/prendre to have both the translation for the present tense form (as currently is included) and also for the imparfait form associated. I had to do a double take on this too - the lesson is on imparfait, and I expected consolidation of the meaning of those conjugations in the section. Relatively minor but useful, I think.
I am working on an iPad.. that is a horrible phrase to type and 75% of it unnecessary!
Does anyone agree?
Translate this please: "Celui qui a santé est riche sans le savoir."
Can you please confirm the pronunciation of LE PLUS when it comes in the middle in case of Superlatives -
W/ VERBS
- Je travaille le plus dans ma famille. (ploo) ?
W/ NOUNS
- J'ai le plus d'amis. [I have the most friends.] (ploo) OR (plooS)?
- J'ai ramassé le plus de feuilles. (ploo) OR (plooS)?
And if it was Comparitive with Noun, then,
- J'ai ramassé plus de feuilles que toi. (plooS)?
I found this link below, but this only gives the scenario of Superlatives with Verbs & Adjectives but doesn't give the scenario of Superlatives with Nouns.

This is a new expression for me for "giving a gift to someone". I know the expression, "faire quelque chose a quelqu'un" can be used in other ways such as "faire un calin a".
Are there many other similar expressions and is there a lesson on this subject?
