Même vs voire

"Je n'aime pas non plus certains supporters qui peuvent être violents ou même racistes"

Could you use "voire" to replace "ou même" in this sentence? With a comma after "violents" ? I tried and it was marked incorrect.

Thank you!

Use of en

Is there away of knowing when to use en/ Dan's when refering to some of the above examples? Why would it not be right to say "Je crois dans la vie après la mort??

Sorry, I have just read the grammar point on c’est and learn that the adjective after it is always masculine. If all else fails, read the instruction!

this lesson does not advise when one would use either faire or être

Bonjour. I read the lesson. The lesson does not seem to advise when it is appropriate or better to use être or faire. Does it absolutely not matter? Or are there situations where être may be better to use than faire, or vice versa? Merci.

Going to the art gallery or the park

In this exercise, can we substitute the preposition “à” for “dans” in any or all of these sentences:

1. Nous irions ensemble dans des galeries d’art (ou à des galeries d’art) ?

2. Nous pourrions manger dans un bon bistrot (ou à un bon bistrot) ?

3. Je l’emmènerais dans un charmant petit parc (ou à un charmant petit parc) ?

I put “à” for (1) and (3) and wondered if it was acceptable alternative, similar to saying “on va au cinéma” ou “à la boulangerie”.

how to?

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I supposed to try and read aloud along with it or just listen to it? And somehow, if I hit the pause button in not exactly the same place, I get 2 voices reading at the same time. And it doesn't rewind? I just have to listen straight through?

Pour l’égalité

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

Les indéfini (tout, toute(s), tous)

Hello there.

In this question: Les champions sont…… heureux.

I think that tous(adj) and tout(adv) are both correct.
