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

Hello again - some more queries. Looking especially for nuances in meaning/usage:
1. Why "bienvenue" and not "bienvenu"?
2.  Instead of "j'aimerais annuler une commande" would it be acceptable to say "je voudrais annuler une commande"?
3.  instead of "j'ai passé ma commande" would it be acceptable to say "j'ai placé ma commande"?
4.  "j'attendrais patiemment votre prochaine livraison."  Is   "j'attendrais patiemment pour votre prochaine livraison" ever correct?

Thanks in advance. Love your work!

Best wishes
Ian

Bonjour,

Is this sentence correct: je ne cours pas du tout pour faire du sport? When to add the pour+infinitif? Example, when you add pour in the example above: Pauline ne veut pas du tout pour dormir -> will mean the same thing as without pour, won't it?

Appreciate all the help! 

Merci :)

"Je pense que les gens qui considerent ce jeu puerile..."  The speaker, the "gens" and the game are all masculine, so why is puerile in the feminine form?  Should it not be pueril?

I really enjoyed this exercise. Maybe I still have a bit of that young child in me, but I found it very useful in learning some of the vocabulary. And, fun, too.

My question: "Les livres etalent leur savoir..."

Since one cannot tell from the dictation if "savoir" is singular or plural, would it be incorrect to write, "Les livres etalent leurs savoirs..."? This was the only mistake that I made, and I hesitated as to whether or not I should use the singular or the plural. I chose the plural, "leurs savoirs" since each book would have its own individual knowledge to show off rather than the books showing off a shared knowledge together. 

Maybe both could be correct: "leur savoir" and "leurs savoirs" in this case.

Merci pour votre aide !

Hello,

I have a question. I understand  how to use the inverted question when you have a vowel -t . But my question is is there an easy way to understand when to use either the Estimate ce- que or the inverted?

Thank you

Hi there,

I realize the rule is stated towards the beginning of the lesson, but I think an example would be very useful there, contrasting the use of aimer qqch meaning to love something with aimer qqch meaning to like something.

Elle aime sa nouvelle veste -- she loves her new jacket

Il aime son nouveau manteau -- he likes his new coat

As a side note, I really appreciate the distinction of change in meaning when the construction is interrogative :)
