Hi - I'm wondering why the verb faire is used in the sentence "Mais la nouvelle cuisine fera 12 square meters" and not the verb être for the sentence "But the new kitchen will be 12 square meters".  Thanks.  

Please can someone explain the use of ‘envoûter de par?’ I would have expected ‘envoûter de...’ or ‘envoûter par...’

Also, in the same paragraph, can ‘que l’on rencontre’ equally be ‘qu’on rencontre?’

Thanking you in advance! 

Why dont we say that "J'ai entendu tout" like "Je comprends tout" but "J'ai tout entendu"?

I don't quite understand why "était" (imperfect) is used with "depuis."  Is that because it is not longer his dream?  Is is because the dream has been fulfilled?  This dream does not continue?

Hi - Could someone explain why the phrase 'mais elle a toujours aimé cet instrument' is in the perfect tense and not the imperfect?  Doesn't the sentence imply that her 'liking' the instrument has no definite time frame and there is no indication of when or if she ever stopped 'liking' the accordion?  I also have the same question as Drew and Maren regarding 'mais elle l'a réussi' as an alternative answer to 'mais elle l'a eu'.  Thanks!

I have seen the use of "si que possible" instead of "si c'est possible". what is the difference?

Etait un peu difícil maís c'est bien pour apprendre. Merci beaucoup.

I wonder if we can do the same before verbs starting by a vowel, because in this case n would change the sound a bit.

For example:

- Je n'aime pas de chiens

- J'aime pas de chiens
