would translate as: mes mains were not stopping trembling. I get very confused over this particular usage. Most of the use of imparfait that I get wrong are due to this rule. Could you explain it better?

My understanding is that in French "menu" is the word for the chalkboard list of daily specials.  And "carte" is the paper list of all the items that the restaurant can serve.  I used "à la carte" in this exercise.  I guess Kwiziq is not making that distinction in A1.  Or, I am under a false impression.

In the fourth sentence, chouette refers to papa. Is is a term of endearment, like honey or chou-chou?

Bonjour,

Hi, I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong place I wasn't sure were to direct it to. But I was wondering if you have a sentence that has You and I in it or a person's name then either I or me(moi) how would that be categorized by? 

Would it be direct object pronouns?

Thanks 

Nicole

I've never really understood when to use "en" even with the lessons but with this sentence in particular, why are we using it? I know it's "finir de faire qch" but why is it needed and how do I know when to use it? 

Thanks

When the owner is a person, you can alternatively use "de qui" as well as dont:

Les enfants, de qui je connais la maman, sont bien élevés.

The children, whose mum I know, are well behaved.

Can I say that
Les enfants, de qui les pères sont riches, sont bien élevés.

The children, whose fathers are rich, are well behaved

I wish your helps...
Merci beaucoup
