Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?

This is confusing me... in English  three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?

Is the sentence below correct ?! Can we use three negatives in a row?

Il ne dit jamais rien personne

or is it necessary to add à before personne ?!

Il ne dit jamais rien à personne ?!

Hidden in my bedroom, I'd tied the flowers with a pretty bow. HINT: Gaspard is speaking (man). 

Dissimulé dans ma chambre, j'avais lié (or attaché) les fleurs avec un joli nœud.

Why do we have this hint? What would change if the speaker were female?

From my understanding this is from the initial verb entendre meaning to hear. 

From the different conjugations it will be I hear myself, I hear you etc but when you add "bien" at the end why does it become "I get along"? i.e., Je m'entends bien avec...?

Thankyou,

is the correct answer. What is wrong with 'Sont-elles cassees, mes lunettes?' C'est la meme chose, non?

Quelle est le sense de `sujet ne verb plus` dans cet exercise?

The lesson says quelques can translate as "some" and I’d be interested to know the situation in which you’d use it rather than "des"?  Does it emphasise the quantity more? 

Does the impersonal expression 'ça roulait très mal' literally mean the traffic was very bad ?
