J'ai pédalé dans la choucroute est un expression tres droll.  J'aime beaucoup. Vous auriez dû le mention dans the leçon.

I guess I fell into the trap of considering "play with dolls" to be a general statement and used "les poupées".

Is this not a general statement? Should "some" be implied here and thus the use of "des poupées"?

Cécile has answered a couple of questions on the noun "prouesse" but I don't quite understand the subtlety here. I put "leur prouesse sportive m'impressionne sans cesse" (i.e. in the singular), which I think sounds the same as the plural "leurs prouesses sportives m'impressionnent sans cesse". Cécile said the plural is correct in this case as it referred to both twins, but "leur dynamisme", "leur esprit d'indépendance" and "leur passion" all equally referred to both twins and these were all in the singular. Why is it only their sporting prowess that is plural here? Thanks. 

What is the different between vos and votre?

The lesson gives the following two examples which both seem to refer to specific objects but use different constructions. What is the difference?

C'est une jolie robe.

Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau

Hi Chris,

WOW! I never knew there was an option when using vous. Figured since the vous (subject pronoun) imposed the plural second person it would ALSO impose the plural past participle. Is it grammatically wrong to use 'retournes' in this case... even though you are only using the vous form for politeness. In other words wouldn't you be allowed a pass based on grammar.
