The corrections give the options of both subjunctive and indicative conjugation following the verb "esperer". Can you clarify? Thanks
A couple of minor points 1. In the 'best answer' «le kilo» was suggested to be changed to «le kg». I would expect to find the latter on the grocer's sign but not used when the grocer clearly says 'le kilo'. 2. «Coûtent» is being indicated as preferred spelling instead of «coutent». At the least, both are equally acceptable. Académie-française and Le Robert both list «couter» as acceptable, with the latter showing all conjugations used with this form. I understand that most affected words have now been changed so just flagging as one that has not.
I really did not understand some of this. What does "Ainsi font, font, font" mean? Also, the meaning of "La taille courbée" and "le front penché". Finally, "s'en vont" confused me. Are they going somewhere? Help!
Whereas partitive articles du, de la, de l', des and indefinite articles un, une become de or d' in negative sentences [See Du, de la, de l', des all become de or d' in negative sentences (partitive articles) and Un, une become de or d' in negative sentences (indefinite articles)], this rule doesn't apply to definite articles le, la, l' or les which remain the same in negative sentences
Hi, just to make you aware, the audio for “remplacez-le juste par une cuillère à café de miel” only says “remplacez-le juste”.
Why was my answer: "Je vais parler sans que vous m'interrompions." The answer you were looking for was: " Je vais parler sans que tu m'interrompes." It was not specified in the question whether to use tu or vous.
Normally I have used the preposition à before a city, as in je vais à Paris. You don't use au Paris. In this exercise, we have a city with a plural name, namely Les Sables d'Olonne. Apparently, one must use aux Sables d'Olonne in stead of à Les Sables d'Olonne. So, is this a general rule: à + name of a singular city and aux + name of a plural city name?
Salut, dans vos premiers indices, pourquoi donnez-vous "Bonne chance" = "good luck," quand le meilleure reponse est "la bonne fortune"?: Merci.

Bonjour,
I'm a bit confused which exactly is the gérondif/participe présent. Is it the entire en+ant verb form or simply the ant verb form--since it can exist without the en preposition [as shown in the video link and the external link].
Merci :)
