Is there a difference between using 

etre a + moi/toi/lui/... 

and

possessive pronous? 

Or could they be used interchangeably? Are there certain situations in which one would be better than the other? 

For example: 

Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les siennes.

Could you briefly tell me when to use vous avez and vous étes since both mean "you are"?

or can we use either of them is any case?

Est ce que on peut utiliser " aller à" dans un contexte different ou un temp different comme suit:

example, puis - on dire " ça me Irai" ou " ça ne me allé pas" ?

Is this an exception to the "h" rule that "le hautbois / du hautbois" is not "l'hautbois / de l'hautbois"?

can we use the" N'est-ce pas un livre" in order to  ask a negative question? or do we have to use just "est-que" at the begining of the question? Thank you so much 

n'est-ce pas un livre? is that true?  

I wish your helps

Bonjour à tous et à toutes,

I have seen the word passion used with both 'de" and 'pour' but I do not understand the difference in usage. Would be grateful for an explanation, merci !

It would be great to add a summary of the types of adjectives that go before - namely beauty, age, goodness, size. This would help to quickly remember this list. 

I could not find rules for punctuation on your site. I tried other sites on line but they seemed confusing and inconsistent. I am sure you could do a better job explaining the rules that you follow.

I don't understand what the difference between durant and pendant are. The lesson puts them together and doesn't say if there is a difference.

This is actually confusing, as it seems the sentence might be incorrect. I keep wondering why it isn't  Quelles chaussures ils/elles plaisent? Or  Quelles chaussures tu plais?
