Lesson: Nous trouvons que vous ....... trop de bruit. We think you make too much noise. I used the subjonctif of fassiez and you say it’s faites which doesn’t seem to be subjonctif. This notebook lesson doesn’t help with my issue. What do I have wrong? Thanks for your help. 

What is the exact difference between il est and c'est?

Suggestions please, for the best way to find the vocabulary given at the start of each writing exercise and dictée. I use the WordReference app and the unabridged Collins Robert dictionary, but frequently find that phrases in particular are difficult or impossible to find, which makes the vocab list unhelpful. Thanks.

Does it make any sense to ask why "Hanoucca" doesn't use a definite article in order to ease the pronunciation? Is it because the "H" is an "H aspiré"? 

If I say "I have been living in Paris for 4 years" is it correct to say either:

#1 J'habite à Paris depuis quatre ans or  #2 J'ai été habiter à Paris quatre ans.

Why, in “Nous courons pour ne pas manquer notre train.”, do we have “ne pas manquer” and not “ne manquer pas”? I didn’t know that “ne pas” is valid. 

Remplacez avec un pronom convenable. 

Elle place une statue de bronze à l'entrée de la maison. 

Les mots soulignés sont "Une statue de bronze". 

1) Elle en place une à l'entrée de la maison 

ou 

2) Elle la place à l'entrée de la maison. 

Hello, bonjour!

 This is not a question, just a comment. I must say I really like to the voice of the woman reading the sentences on this page!! Lovely voice and style - more of this reader, please!

Seems to me that « were going every summer » and « used to go every summer » are pretty much the same thing. My translator for nous allions agreed. What’s the difference and how does one say « were going? » Merci !
