Bonjour!

For the case under Farm, will dans only apply on the word farm or also for other places?

Merci :)

elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnante ?

Anyone have an opinion on this please ? Is there any ambiguity in French ?

"elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnante." Surely this should be: "elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnants."

It is the hats that are impressive, not the collection.

If the collection was impressive, it should have been: Elle a une collection impressionnante de chapeaux, or possibly

Elle a une impressionante collection de chapeaux ( don't think this second one is as good, but it may be ok).

Thanks, Paul..

Use of "n'est-ce pas"

In answer to this question...

"Marie vient demain" Now turn this sentence into a question, using "n'est-ce pas"
... I answered "N'est-ce pas que Marie vient demain?

Why is this wrong? I admit it seems clunky (overly formal?).

Dégoûtant, n’est pas?As dégoûtant in this context is associated with/referring to « la peau » (féminine), why does the adjective not change to dégoûtante?

why use du?

Bonjour,

I noticed that in the video attached above, sometimes du is used rather than de with retard, for example - J'ai eu du retard / Le train a du retard.

While in this lesson, it mentions that "avoir (5 minutes) de retard".

Is it when "avoir ... de retard" uses with no specific time, the "de" can change to "du" ?

Merci d'avance!
