What is the possessive pronoun for "on"? Is there a fixed one or does it depend on the situation i.e. whether "on" is used as a replacement for vous or nous? Thank you!

i learned that aimer is to love a person or animal but it means like for an object and if you want to love an object you use adorer eg j'adore le chocolat - i love chocolat. j'aime le chocolat - i like chocolat. Is this wrong?

It would benefit me and expedite my studies if the direct English translation were available just beneath the full text.  Though I usually understand the overall meaning of the text, I still have a few words on each exercise that are not obvious or already a part of my vocabulary.  Certainly I can copy and paste into google translate, but this takes unnecessary time and switching between windows.  Google translation is not perfect and sometimes offers an awkward rendering.  In this example, I was not used to the use of the word pistes to indicate ‘tips.’  I was also not familiar with ‘quant’ or ‘AVC.’

On a completely separate issue, I could benefit from a brief explanation of why particular verb forms are used in certain situations—use of the imparfait here created a little confusion.  A little ‘teacher’s notes’ section could be useful.

I get a lot out of work out of these dictees and appreciate having the opportunity to practice them.  I think with a little bit of extra explanation from your side, they could benefit me even further.  Thanks for your consideration.

Hello kwiziq team, I have a short question as follows: am sure I hear the voice saying "je bois le bon tisane devant...", instead of what the text says: "je bois une bonne tisane devant..." - Could you please let me know, if this is because of me simply not getting the right sound? The word tisane should be (f) - Thanks for coming back!

¿Why is à used here instead of de ?

Is the discussion below, Chris says this means They’re leaving soon. Yet I was just marked wrong for using this term for that same translation. This section is the most confusing and I’m asking if you can direct me to other resources for more help. Thanks. 

I wonder if the audio file for "Nous peignons ensemble" is correct.  It sounded like "peignions" to me, and it doesn't sound the same as in the youtube.  Or are there two different pronunciations for "peignons"?

I appreciate this question has been answered but it hasn’t been answered in a way that makes sense to me. Kindly don’t point me to a lesson on this because I have read the lessons already. 

Based on the lessons I have read, neuf and neuve means never been used.  Subsequently, if I say ‘I have bought a new bike’, in English it means I have bought a brand-new bike. If the intention was to say I have bought a bike new to me but not brand new, then the sentence should refer to it being secondhand bike.

Looking at all the discussions below, it seems to me the sentence should be altered so there is no confusion about whether we are talking about a bike that is new to a person or a brand-new bike that has never been used.
