Après nous être levés... ? I see the construction après être but why here? It looks active.. something they did, rather than a passive situation so why not passé composé? Would that be wrong or a valid alternative?.. or would it have to be après nous nous sommes levés?.. think I am beginning to get the message...

rosé/rosâtre

Could "rosâtre" be used to translate "pinkish" in the phrase "une douce teinte rosée"?

faire vs. être

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.

Audio on this lesson

I love the audio on this lesson. The pauses on the punctuation give more life to the language.

addendum to previous question concerning "avoir hate":

I also notice that the dictionary gives the following English translations of "avoir hate": "to be anxious to", "to be looking forward to", "to be in a hurry to", but does NOT give "I can't wait to". Any comment?

I wrote "...il a faim" but apparently should have used "faime", although other suggested answers show "faim". Which is correct?

What is wrong here?

Hang on, the example says les chats voient dans la nuit so why is Les chats gris voient dans la nuit wrong and the wanted answer Les chats gris voient la nuit?
