For the line « Il n'aime pas le vert » one of the reference lessons is to the use of colours as adjectives with changes in gender/number. However, in this sentence « vert » is a noun, and a more relevant reference would be to the use of (definite) articles with ne ... pas as linked here:

Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)

I have noticed that all the phrases use the pronouns, "le or la". As in:

"La fille dont le frere travaillait avec moi..."

"Francois, dont j'ai rencontre la femme..."

Is there any problem with saying the following for example?:

"La fille, dont son frere travaillait avec moi, a gagne le prix"

"La femme, dont son fils j'ai rencontre la semaine derniere..."

"Amelie, dont ses enfants sont venus chez nous, sont bien eleves"

In the sentence:  "On ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine."  what french word translates to the word with in english? 

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

Is it possible to say: "Mme Lupin est la professeur." ??

 Why is the final "t" in "mat" pronounced?

Given that "le teint" is masculine I would think that the "t" would be silent. If one were to describe her as having "la peau matte" then the final "t" would be pronounced.

Thank you for your answer in advance.

Quelle chanson sucrée!  :)

Because of the 'hint' that 'the action was completed' I changed my initial answer from 'Ce Noel etait' to 'Ce Noel a ete' - but I find it's 'etait' in the above version.

I also had used the word 'etincelantes' but this was scored out and replaced with 'brillantes'.  

This is by no means the first time that similar things have happened and I'm a bit peeved that I've had to mark myself down needlessly.
