Someone loves xxx versus someone likes xxxSalut! Je me demande si on doit utiliser "bien" avec "aimer" pour signifier "love" vs "like" If you want to say someone loves something, as opposed to liking it, do you add "bien"? : Il aime bien sa copine. He loves his girlfriend. Il aime tes chaussures. He likes your shoes. I thought I remembered this distinction, but I'd appreciate someone discussing this! Thanks, Karla B

Comment ça se fait qu'il faille se subjonctif avec cette construction?(Sorry, couldn't resit.) Into which category does this example fall. It is obviously not a conjunction that triggers the subjonctif here and I also don't see any of the verbs that normally ask for subjonctif - or anything else I've encountered so far with respect to the subjonctif.

Relflexive verb: se moquer

The example verbs in the lesson (se lever) and most of the ones presented in the tests (se coucher, se laver, se réveiller) all follow the same pattern-- in that the action is done on/to the subject or the subject own body. However, with the verb se moquer the action is done to someone else and requires the use of "de".

It's unclear why one wouldn't say "Ils me moquent" instead of "Ils se moque de moi". Can some explain this a bit?
