Hi. Elsa eats and I buy.. Shouldn't you rather use the progressive form in the translations, Elsa is eating and I am buying, as the simple present  denotes habitual or repeated actions, as if Elsa were eating them every day and I buying new sheets daily ?

From google translate 'Le primeur a des melons magnifiques.' is 'The scoop has magnificent melons'

I have no idea what it is suppose to mean. Translation please.

Regarding the question asked by Kyaw: perhaps the lesson "Nouns that are plural in English but singular in French, and vice versa" could have a few more examples added, including words such as 'vaisselle'. This is only a suggestion! 

Hi, there is a little problem because the neighbour's name is spelled "Viviane" the first time and then "Vivianne" the second time :-)

So one can say: Il fait que tu aies de la patience and Il fait que tu sois patient - yes? Both are grammatically correct in English? You must have patience / You must be patient. One being a noun the other an adverb.

their apartment is beautiful, "oui, il est."  I thought "c'est" was used to express an opinion about a previously mentioned item???

Bonjour,

I noticed that the adjectives and adverbs agree with le plus/le moins, all used were masculine. Is this so?

Merci :)
