In ‘ Quand ouvre-t-on les cadeaux? ‘ When do we open the presents?
where does the ‘t’ come from?
two rows of white teeth.
I wrote
"deux rangées des dents blanche"
but the answer is
"deux rangées de dents blanche"
Why is "de dents" instead of "des dents"?
One of the translations in the quiz was 'Everybody wants to do their best'. This may be in common usage now but correctly, I think, it should be 'his/her' best. Here 'everybody' is singular hence the singular verb 'wants', so the pronoun needs to correspond to the noun as well as the verb.
In another lesson (sorry I don't know the name of the lesson, since I encounter them randomly), you specifically state that this sentence is not correct:
"Elle me rappelle de Paula." How is that different from "Elle se rappelle de ce garçon", which is given in this lesson as correct? It seems that "de" is not allowed in the first sentence but it is allowed in the second sentence.
Bonjour
In the video where it states that amour is masculine and amours is feminine there is an example ... de grandes amours.
Why is de and not des
does participe passé agree with direct object when "on" is the subject of the passive sentence.
for example on l'a regardée (she was watched)(la is feminin article)
ı wish your helps thanks
if s'attendre a ce que is to dread why is it tu t'attend a etre licence, surely you dread to be fired
When using avoir as the auxilliary verb in the passe compose, I thought that the past participle had to agree with the direct object... so in the previous exercise there was:
"Nous avons nouri nos chiens" ...are not les chiens the direct object of the verb in that sentence?
"il a fini ses devoirs" ...are not les devoirs the direct object of that sentence...?
...I guess I have got something very wrong here... grateful for any guidance...

I've read the comments and know that this lesson is being reviewed. It can't come soon enough. It really is poorly written, and I'm just not going to test on it until it's edited, changed or whatever. Will try to learn the topic via some other means.
