This is very confusing. I have gotten it wrong in quizzes twice because I used a singular verb with the "plural" noun as in Mes vacances coûte.....please explain why I should use a plural verb? In the lesson all the examples show a plural noun (French style) with a singular verb. And, in the examples there are only singular verbs with the plural nouns.
Hi, why does “the que before the penser” (b) & (c) become “a quoi after the penser” (a)?
(a) “Et vous, vous pensez QUOI des selfies ?”
(b) “Et vous, QUE pensez-vous des selfies ?”
(c) “Et vous, QU'est-ce que vous pensez des selfies ?”
Regarding 'Ils ________ pendant les vacances." you give the answer as 'auront grandi'. Reverso gives both an avoir and an etre form forr the future anterior of grandir. I assumed as this was intransiitive it would be the etre form?
J'ai pédalé dans la choucroute est un expression tres droll. J'aime beaucoup. Vous auriez dû le mention dans the leçon.

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on dit ici "alors attendre pendant des mois POUR une tomate".
Expliquez, s'il vous plaît.
For the question 'In spite of herself Katia started to hope' I used 'en dépit d'elle'. This was marked wrong and malgré given as the correct answer. What am I missing here? The lesson says that you can use either.
What accent does Simon have? I thought his “enchanté” and “française” sounded like “ench-in-té” and “fr-in-çaise”, and his “viens” sounded like “viennent”.
Why use why use elles vont de Cannes pour le festival du film. I used A and got it wrong
In the phrase "j'ai pris la petite creature dans mes bras et je l'ai ramenée chez elle" you use the pronouns la and chez elle meaning it is a feminine dog. In the beginning of the story you use the pronoun "un chien" meaning a masculine dog. I am confused with the pronouns used to describe the dog.
Thank you,
Nancy
