In the lesson, there are two examples given:

1. Nous sommes gentils

2. On est gentils

In the second example, why is there “s” on the end of gentils? Should it not be gentil - since “on” is 3rd person singular?

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

I don't agree with the following tip. I agree with Harton.  I am English and was a teacher of English.  What you suggest is very formal and rarely used in nowadays in spoken English.  I believe that just as it is important to learn French as it is actually spoken, it is also important to learn English as it is actually spoken.

Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...), in French you will once again use the stress pronoun after que (... que moi, toi, lui/elle, nous, vous, eux/elles). You will also never repeat the verb (do/am/have) afterwards:

This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi."  I don't uderstand the need for "elle."  What purpose does it serve?

I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed.  Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.

Qui habite à travers la rue?

Hello

So on the writing challenge test,( If I could start all over...).  I translated the last sentence "I could even get a dog." using "pouvais" meaning "able to" but the correct translation was using "pourrais" the conditional form. Please clarify!,Thank you, Karen 

Please can you explain this lesson.  Even the examples don't seem to fit the explanation

Penser que + indicative ne pas

Penser que + subjunctive
