He had more experience than I did'He had more experience than I did'is translated as ' Il avait plus d'experience que moi' I think that should be a translation of ' He had more experience than me'. Whereas 'Il avait plus d'experience que j'avais' which may not be grammatical or good french (is it? )but does not convert 'than I did', to 'than me'. This kind of approximation in translation whilst necessary in real life is not helpful in the learning process as we are having to guess at what you want .

multiple items in these answers

Why is italienne not capitalized in the phrase "de la Renaissance italienne?"  Also, why is the article "le" not used in the first mention "de Florence en Italie", but is used in "ses carnets duvoyage sure l'Italie" ?  Has "medicine" gone out of usage for the designation of medical doctor and has "docteur" supplanted it?  "Docteur" is applicable to non-physicians (e.g., those with PhD's) and is there another designation for them?  Thanks.

Se réunir vs se rejoindre, emmener DANS vs emmener à

Can you say "on avait décidé de se réunir après le travail"?

Also, why is it "emmené dans un bar" instead of "emmené à un bar"?

future anterior of grossir

reverso gives an etre and an avoir form for grossir. As this is intransitive in the sense that he has put on weight himself, I assumed it was the etre form? You marked it wrong.

Log-in

I want to sign in on a new device, but it already has someone else's kwiziq account set up.  How do I get a new sign-in option so I can get on with my account?
