I have a question why do we put an arrival before a sport such as je faire du tennis isn’t du means some or off what does mean if we put it before the sport?

I agree with others that this lesson is very confusing. There’s no explanation as to why jeter and appeler are different from the other eTer and eLer verbs discussed in the section above them (lever, acheter). I think this has to do with how the present tense is spelled, but some more explicit explanation would be helpful. Further, the very top section (I realize I’m moving from bottom to top) gives accent rules for ALL eXer verbs, so what comes below is confusing because it appears there are exceptions and we’re not told why. Thanks for any help in clarifying this.

For the last section, would it also be ok to use "on" instead of "nous": "on peut enfin ouvrir nos cadeaux !"? I thought that was acceptable, but Kwiziq didn't seem to like it.

I understand why “Quel est le meilleur aspirateur? “ uses  meilleur but would the answer to that question in a shop be “Cet aspirateur est mieux que ceux-là.”, or Cet aspirateur est meilleur que ceux. Is a general statement (using mieux) able to be used for comparing two specific objects the speakers are pointing to, trying on, testing out, deciding between?

In the negative half of the lesson, the adjective plus mauvais seems to be used for similarly structured sentences. Mon accent est plus mauvais que le tien. and Ses résultats sont plus mauvais que l'année dernière.

What gives?

Salut,

J'ai une question à propros de l'usage du subjonctif dans la phrase suivante:

"... malgré le fait que sa technique puisse encore s'améliorer..."

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on l'utilise dans ce cas?
