entendre ou bien s'entendreThis is from a quiz about two siblings fighting and their mother telling them to try to get with each other : "Tâchez de vous entendre ou je vous envoie tous les deux au lit !"

Shouldn't this be: Tâchez de bien vous entendre? Otherwise, it reads "try to hear each other".

Aimer bien/plaire

Bonjour à tous et à toutes

Est-ce que quelqu'un peut me dire quelle est la différence entre les deux phrases suivantes svp:

Martin aime bien Sarah

Sarah plaît à Martin

I'm sure there must be some subtle difference!

Merci,

Nick

idiomatic expressions

Would you be so kind as to explain what "fait une tete de plus que Marie" and "a gagne haut la main" mean. I tried to look them up but to no avail. I think I understand them in context, but would like a bit better understanding. Thank you!! I did try to click on the phrases in question but nothing appeared; it would be helpful if, once the test were completed, that mechanism worked on the dictees as well. Is that possible to fix???

My understanding was that "Du" is a contraction of "de le". Why do we use "du" but not the equivalent "de la"?

Thanks!

why would you do this?

Hi, what is the point of inverting verbs? Does it change the mood of the question? All I got from this lesson was "it sounds better".
