'When it's not cold I sleep outside'. Dehors is suggested before it comes up in the English so if one adds it to the translation prior to it appearing, it becomes an error. The suggestion needs to come after 'when it's not cold'.
We use extra e for féminin elle in passé composé. Why not in Présent tense.
elle s'est réveillée. (Passé composé)il/elle se réveille (Présent)
I am confused. Please help me out.
I've seen both of these as phrases on Kwiziq:
Plus je regarde la télévision...Plus je mange du chocolat... (The more I eat chocolate...)

quelques (plural)
Used with countable things it means a couple of, some, a few.
Il a quelques livres à lire.He has a few books to read.and peu de means little, not much of, few
Nous avons peu d'argent.We have little money.We don't have much money.Elle a peu d'amis.
1. Can I use "empirer" instead of exacerber or aggraver in the sentence "ce qui ne faisant qu'exacerber les problèmes ..."?
2. Why do we use faire ... instead of the word itself?
Edit: I have since found out that I pretty much answered my own question.
Why is it that "délicieuses" is plural, in agreement with "moules", and not with "l'air"?
Is there a lesson that clearly compares when to use each of these. I'm struggling to distinguish between the three and was hoping for a side by side comparison.
Thanks.
Good, better, best(bon, meilleur, le/la meilleure). How is "ma meilleure amie", translated as "my best friend" distinguisablle from "my better friend" except by convention? I.e. one would never say yare my better friend.
What is the need for having two words for hair in this expression?
