Why is it that "délicieuses" is plural, in agreement with "moules", and not with "l'air"?

Hi. When practising the use of 'que', one of your examples runs 'Les fleurs que Paul sent.' and the translation is The flowers that/which Paul smells. As the present tense in English denotes habitual or regular doings, the present tense here implies that Paul smells them every day or often, which sounds a bit odd. I think the progressive form' is smelling' would give the correct meaning of ' Paul sent'.

BUT HOW TO IDENTIFY WORDS WITH L' ARTICLE , example: l'animal (animal)  is masculine,  and l'armoire (wardrobe) is feminine,  and l'assiette (plate) is masculine ????

1 - Il y a bien longtemps 

2- Il y a longtemps

What is the difference between these two sentences ?!

Thanks ;)

I chose the c-with-cedille for the beginning of the fourth sentence, but I wasn't able to figure out how to make it capitalized (thus I got it wrong because it wasn't capitalized). How can one do that ?

Hi! Just a quick question, the play head doesn't allow me to go back or move forward as in if I wanted to play back or listen again to only a certain part of the exercise/story. And I have to listen to the whole thing again, for just one small part. Is this something that is intentional or an oversight? thank you  

Bonjour. I am guessing that using sortir for the release of a film is an exception to the rule. It appears to me that the example provided does contain a direct object immediately following the verb: "Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière." i.e. "la semaine".
