In the phrase "J'aime beaucoup ce nouveau bijou" why doesn't beaucoup need a "de"?
Am I correct that this can have two slightly different meanings in English: I like that you take your time and I like you to take your time? In the first instance, it is a fact that the person spoken to takes their time; in the second, the speaker is expressing a desire for continuing situation - taking time. (The second instance is different again from I would like you to take your time, which, I suppose, would be translated as J'aimerais que tu prennes ton temps).
Is this yet another example of how English is often better for expressing nuances, or is there an alternative way to clarify the difference in French?

I put in le mien and was marked wrong. i don't see any indication that the speaker is male or female, so why is the answer "la mienne"
J'ai utilise "ce nouveau cahot" au lieu de "ce nouveau chaos". Est-il assez pareil en sens?
Should this sentence read ‘Quand on ouvre leur porte’?
If not, please explain. Thanks.
why is the adjective here after the noun?
J'habiterais dans une villa gigantesque - I thought "size" went before a noun
second section sayes it cant be followed by a conjugated verb but it has been in first section when words being introduced, what am i missing?
Hello,
How does one know how to conjugate pronouncements like "Vive les fiancés"? My first instinct is that vivre should use the third person plural of le subjonctif here, because les fiancés is third person plural. However, is it "vive" instead of "vivent" because it is a fixed expression? Any more examples or fiches pédagogiques would be helpful, thanks!
