J'ai trois soeurs. Does this change to Je n'ai pas trois soeurs or je n'ai pas de soeurs. If the latter, then do all numbers change to de??

Could somebody please rewrite the explanation of irregular 'e-less' adverbs, found under the example box of vraiment, etc, into shorter, clearer english?

Hello,

When someone asks you if you can swim or you can cook how can you determine whether to use the verb pouvoir or connaitre vs savoir? 

  I have not learned about the last two verbs just yet as it is in A2 but I am familiar with them but very confused. 

Can you help me?

Thanks 

Nicole

I just put réussir à un examen in one of your tests and you marked the "à" as wrong although I was always taught this was correct.  I have checked in both Collins dictionary and in the Harraps dictionary and they both say réussir à un examen.  Please could you explain this?

The question:

says it translates to "Suddenly, the creature was here, opposite me."

Does that mean that can mean both "here" and "there" in English then?

I probably missed something, but isn't this example in the Conditional and not the Pluperfect?

      Si nous l'avions choisi, nous l'aurions regretté.

      If we'd chosen him, we would have regretted it.

It would be great if I could understand why I'm wrong ;-)

I used C’est parfaitement bien instead of c’est très bien. Is that wrong?

“Are you all doing your homework?” is translated, “Vous faites tous vos devoirs?”

How to say, “Are you doing all your homework?“  Different meaning.  Tx.

Vous l'avez rencontre a une soiree - you met him at a party

Vous les avez rencontre a une soiree - you met them at a party

Il nous a rencontre a une soiree - he met us at a party

But the moment you talk about yourselves it becomes a reflexive verb, rather than just a special case of the pronoun matching the verb case?

Nous nous sommes rencontres a une soiree - we met (each other) at a party

In the sentence 'au sein des communautés hindoue et sikhe' why are 'hindoue et sikhe' not in the plural form?
