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

ne…pas de

I’ve always thought that in a negation the preposition ‘de’ is used, so in « I don’t waste water » I wrote « je ne gaspille pas d’eau » but this was corrected to « je ne gaspille pas l’eau ». My thought pattern was supported in « when I can’t cycle » - « quand je ne peux pas faire de vélo » (given that : to cycle = faire du vélo). Can this be explained ?

Another way to say "in turn"

Hello,

I wanted to ask if it's not possible to write instead of "qui est tour à tour" , "dont a son tour" ?

Also, I don't understand what the expression "qui est tour à tour" means?

Thank you
