Hi.

How come 'croire ses yeux' but 'faire les ongles'?  I thought that it should be 'croire les yeux' as possessive pronouns should not be used for parts of the body.  

Thanks

Hello, here : que j'ai toujours voulu voir. We do not have precise finished action, we do not have the dream that actually stopped in the past. We have either  description/habit, or we have something in uncertain past/present. Why not imparfait? Thank you

Que dire de la neige qui est  ------ ?

1) tombé 

2) tombée

Hi, I saw this test somewhere and it the right answer was 1 "tombé".

but, I think 2 is correct because la neige is feminie!, help please 

Why "moins DE soixsante jours" and not "moins QUE soixsante jours"? Accourding to the rule, we should have used 'de' if we wanted to say moins DE jours que de nuits. But here, as I understand, 2 or 3 days is less QUE 60. Thank you

In "Je vais à Paris" the s in vais is not pronnounced, but I had also undestood that when the word ends in a consonant, and the next word is a vocal, you pronounce the last letter to kinda carry the "flow", I forgot what the proper name for the rule was.

When do you use une in place of la in french

How do you conjugate être and suis in the present form

“... le succès n’est pas près de se démentir” . Instead of près I put prêt in the last sentence. Just wondering if that was a possible option. That is, instead of “the success is not near to be denied” my alternate would be “the success is not ready to be denied” ? Or does that make no sense? 

Not noted in the lesson but the spelling reforms (1990) resulted in both «plaît» and «plait» being accepted (confirmed with Le Robert). The quiz bot is 'marking' the latter spelling as «nearly correct». Report also submitted directly from quiz.
