Is it not necessary to have a verb to accompany the adjective for l'autre ? 

In a question it was used : "Ils sont différents: l'un est petit et l'autre est grand."  

In the example it wasn't :Tom et Maxime sont très différents: l'un est calme et l'autre (   ) hyperactif. 

Is there a distinction? 

I'm curious about the adjective placement in "fervent défenseur." Would it be equally correct to say "un défenseur fervent" as a way to start this sentence?

Hello, can you tell me which is correct for House of Flowers  ... maison de fleurs OR maison des fleurs? thanks!!

I understand how they are formed but I don't understand when they should be used and when they shouldn't be used. I don't understand how to determine whether the verb should be reflexive or not and in what type of sentences you should use it, could you please clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I'm wondering how "tant mieux" would be used in conversation; that is, what are some common things that people say where the other person would reply using "tant mieux"?

Merci!

I do not understand why a 10 minutes de is wrong, and a 10 mins de is right. I have not yet seen the latter given as an example.

I agree with the Kwiziq team members and some others that the words all sound clear, with my connection anyway. After I have completed the exercise and re-listened to the whole passage it magically becomes very clear. My only query is the word "honnêteté" where, despite numerous listens, I can't hear all the syllables, and I was wondering whether it is usually pronounced as spelled "honnêteté", or in common usage is simply pronounced "honnêté"

Where can I find the vocabulary used in the dictation exercises?  I clicked on the all related grammar/vocabuary link, but it only gives the grammar.  There were lots of expressions/words used for which I couldn't find a proper translation in the context of the exercise. Alternatively, a translation for the dictation would be useful
