Hi, I think I'm a bit confuse when comes to gender. I thought whenever for feminine, need to add -e. But, how come there is a gender for fruits. And when come to souris, how do I know the gender for the animal? 

I thought "un tir au but" means a shot on goal, during regular play. Isn't a penalty kick supposed to be "un coup de pied de réparation"?

As an alternative to "sans rien", could you use tout seul?  Merci!

Dear sir/madam, 

Titles of the pages are not readable as the fonts dont show up well. Can you please let me know what shall I do to ensure good fonts? I am using chrome browser on windows. On my android phone the same text looks fine though....

Best regards,

How to type the accent marks into my answers

Why is the translation  'Le club fermera dans dix minutes" wrong in answer to the question "The club closes in 10 minutes'' 

 when 'fermera'  translates to 'will close' Or 'The club will close in 10 minutes'

 But 'Le club ferme dans dix minutes' is the correct answer. Surely 'will close' and 'closes' is the same meaning. 

I know that me changes to moi, te changes to toi, what about se? Does it become soi?

Eg: tu m'assieds --> assieds-moi

Tu s'assieds --> assieds-soi??
