Hi

In the this expression: 'mes aisselles, que je trouve bizarrement immenses, émettent une fragrance des plus rances', why is des plus rances expressed as plural.  I would have thought that the object it relates to is 'une fragrance' and not 'mes aisselles'.  I'm guessing that it is plural because it relates to 'mes aisselles', but I would have thought that 'une fragrance' is a closer object.

Thanks

Why does the sentence "quatre jolies filles" have the adjective before the noun?

(I know this question is not related to the topic of this article, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent example in the relevant article.)

I got this question:

How would you say "You went out even though I wasn't OK with it." ?

And I answered with this:

Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.

Apparently the right answer was Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord, but I don't understand why je ne suis pas d'accord is in the present tense.

To me that sentence means "You went out even though I'm not OK with it.", as in "I'm not ok with in general", but the way the English sentence is written in the question means that the speaker wasn't ok about a particular going-out. Why would one use the present tense there even though the "not being ok with it" was done in the past?

Is it right that you don't pronounce the 'S' at the end of 'suis' when it's followed by 'à'?

I had thought anytime a vowel sound follows a word ending in 's', you pronounce that s. Like with 'Je dine dans une...'

Selon Reverso, les textes français utilisent les deux. Mais est-ce que tous les deux sont corrects ?

Is 'Ils s'ont enrichi grâce à leur histoire d'amour, a reasonable alternative

to

Ils sont devenus riches grâce à leur histoire d'amour.

Note: Collins on-line came up with s'enrichir = to get rich

Which one is correct ( pour que tu pars or pour que tu partes ?) just as it is nothing else surrounding those 4 words.

Thank you
