Il est versus c’est

Confused again.. your examples all use the form “il est dix heures vingt-cinq”.. in response to “quelle heure est-il”, would c’est dix heures vingt-cinq be equally acceptable?

Qui or laquelle - can both be used

In this phrase "avec laquelle je servirai un variété de légumes" can the word "qui" also be used in place of "laquelle" since it is referring to a living thing - a turkey.

thank you,

Using avoir et être in future simple

Hi,

I was wondering when using être or avoir in the sentence below does it determine like it does when you use it in the idiomatic expressions?

L'étudiant n'est pas en classe. Il Sera encore endormi.

The student is not in class. He is probably still asleep

Cause I don't see the aura used here so I was wondering if it's similar when we learn about the idiomatic expressions.

Thank you

Nicole

What's the difference between 'ceux' and 'lesquels' ?

I've heard that both ceux(and all of its forms) and lesquels(and all of its forms) means the one. So, how do you differentiate? For example: Eva aime mes biscuits mais déteste ceux de sa tante.

Pourquoi "C'est très ennuyeux" et pas "C'est ennuyant"

Je ne comprends pas la raison que vous avez écrit "C'est très ennuyeux". Est-ce que "C'est très ennuyant" est aussi correcte?

Mon annee a l'etranger

In the sentence "On a visite le Mont St Michel qui nous a laisses ......", shouldn't it be ".....qui nous a laisse " referring to Mont St Michel?

Also, I think "....on est alles..." should be "...on est alle...", "on est parti..." should be "on est parti...", etc.?
