Can I suggest that in this part of the lesson:

Use tout ce qui when the pronoun qui is followed by a verb or an object/reflexive pronoun (as opposed to a subject pronoun -je/tu/il/elle/on/nous/vous/ils/elles - or a noun):  You replace the list of subject pronouns with a list of object pronouns. You repeat the list of subject pronouns under 'que'.

One of my biggest struggles has always been to understand the logic behind the changes in spelling and accents for certain verbs in the present indicative - doubling consonants or changing the accent on the letter “e”. It is not easy to find a comprehensive explanation about these changes. Instead we are just told to “memorize” the conjugations, which is frustrating.

I have searched many, many sites and textbooks, and knew that there was a reason related to pronunciation and syllable stress. I finally found a site that explains this pretty well. Perhaps this is self-evident to others, but it was not to me, and i thought it might help those like me! I hope you can access this link if you are interested!

HI,

I was wondering would these two sentences be correct?

1) nous aimons Faire de la randonnée au canada 

2) nous randonnons au canada 

It's not homework just understanding the lesson on here better for practice. 

Thanks

Sometimes Kwizik worry too much about spelling. I wrote c;est instead of c'est and it is marked wrong. Something I would never do when writing long hand. Stop treating us like children!!!!!!
