J'________ à New York, si j'avais un peu d'argent.

You were polite yesterday is not a one time action, it's a state of being, so to say “tu as été polis hier" is incorrect.

Using 'En' before specific day + prochainMardi prochain, elle va à un concert.Next Tuesday, she is going to a concert.Next Tuesday, she is going to a concert.

The correct answer given above, why is 'En' not used when the lesson notes says that 'En' should be used for specific day followed by 'prochain'. Is that rule different in this case as putting the 'En' would sound weird.

Il avait les yeux noisette...

Why does noisette not become plural in this case? I can´t figure this out. I don´t see a double adjective with colors. I also don´t see hazel as a thing like an orange. Maybe that´s what I´m missing.? Is it actually a hazelnut or something? Can you explain this one to me? Thanks so much!

Merci pour l'article.

Pour moi , cet article est très intéressant. Je ne savais pas que Il y a 29 pays où le Français est soit parlé. Autre curiosité  que j'ai trouvé ce que au Viet Nam était une colonie française et que cette langue est parlé dans les relations diplomatiques comment aux Comores. Ici en Colombie le Français a devenu une langue populaire entre les jeunes colombien.

Adjectives ending in -er become -ère in the feminine

This question referring to visitors either visiteurs or visiteuses has a reference to adjectives ending in "er" becoming "ere" in the feminine. Could you please explain how this is relevant? I'm really missing something here.

Regards,

Neil
