What do you mean by "like"?

"Verbs like jouer or crier become je jouerai ou je crierai.

There should be an option to play slowly do each word could be deciphered separately. This would be a good addition to the listening practise section.

in the expression j'ai peur de....the de changes with the object  j'ai peur des chats....what about avoir besoin de  or avoir envie de...those don't change?  Why?  Merci,  Bruce

Hi,

I was wondering why there was no liason between voudrais + une, or veux+câlin?

thanks in advance

Bonjour,

I'm confused how to order ne..que in the present tense in 2 following cases:

I only eat sweets 

I eat sweets only

Merci  d'avance.

Est-ce-que tes affaires sont dans la valise?

If want to use y in this sentence, can I say, " ils y sont"?

It's very hard to spot this difference when it isn't mentioned in any of the lessons.

Agreed.  Both choices are corrrect and depend on the context.  The same would apply when using ancienne.  One could say "mon ancienne voiture" or "ma voiture ancienne", depending on the circumstances.  Is it my old car or my prior car?  

I did have to look this one up! But for anyone else who was wondering, "sans chocolat" is absolutely correct.  I had thought it would be "sans le chocolat."
