Why is it "je ne lis pas les journaux" and not "je ne lis pas de journaux"?

Please how do you use n'aime..

je vais mettre mes valises dans le compartiment. Et leurs valises à eux? Mettez les leurs dans le compartiment aussi.

what is the meaning of  "s'acharner sur/contre" in English? will you please give me some examples?

I understood ¨pelle¨ as shovel.  Is there no difference?

What does "en gras" mean in the context of a title?

Elle trouve que Sam EST belle.

versus

Elle trouve Sam ennuyeuse.

Does it work as a guide/rule that:

The presence of a conjugated verb after "trouve que" suggest both that

1) "trouve que" is being used in the sense of "think/find that...(clause)," and also

2) that "que" is necessary in the formation of such a sentence?

For comparison: "Elle trouve Sam est belle" would be grammatically incorrect.

C'est la rue la plus petite dans la ville. It's a specific road in a specific town so why is dans wrong? Just as it's not wrong in il y a une boulangerie dans la ville? (Your example)

Bonjour,

With regards to Cher Matt, chère Kate. If you are are writing a letter or a card and it's to both of them, could you default to the masculine version and say Cher Matt et Kate?

Merci
