I already tried submitting this question via the quiz: In a multiple-choice question I was supposed to fill in the answer for Elle est ________ aux jeux de la toupie dans notre groupe, or some such similar question. I got it wrong by selection le meilleur over la meilleur(e) It is not made clear in the the lesson on meilleur vs. mieux why the quiz answer should be la meilleur and not le meilleur. ... After all there may be males in the group considered in the for who is the best at the game."
With the above examples the final 's' in 'je suis a' is silent. But when saying 'Je suis aller..' I have heard the s pronounced? Is there a rule for when the final 's' is silent or not?
To say I feel bad, would you write "Je me sens mal" or "Je sens mal"?
I'm interested that you translate 'fin de semaine' as 'weekend'. That was what I was taught in school years ago, but French practice now seems to be to call Saturday/Sunday 'le weekend' and for 'fin de semaine' to mean Friday, or just Friday evening.
