is pire only for adjectives and not for adverbs? eg is it correct to say "je danse le plus mal", but wrong to say "je danse le pire"? thanks!
is this normal use in French or is the English translation here slightly incorrect?
Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?
Sorry, no accents. In the sentence, I am not sure if you use l'imparfait first, and the second part of the sentence is what? subjunctive or indicative? It sounds strange to me, because in English you would say something like "little did it matter that they bit or not" or maybe "would bite"? (if I translated literally it wouldn't sound right at all: "it didn't matter that IT bites or not" (strange already because the previous sentence talks about several fish). Not quite sure because English is not my first language. But in Spanish we would use the past subjunctive in this sentence, but then in Spanish we have more tenses and we also use a lot more often the subjunctive mode than in French...
In paragraph 3 why does "j'avais" denote an obligation (to have to) instead of it being "je devais"?
when the "re" comes before the verbs(for example redonner) does it give the verbs the meaning of again and back everytime? or does it change according to the verbs?
for example:
Je lui ai redonné son style: I gave back him his pen(?)
Je lui ai redonné mon stylo: I gave him my pen again(?)
thanks for comments
Bonjour,
I am looking over this lesson and was making compound words and I made a sentence and was hoping you can tell me if it is correct?
Doghouse
Une maison à chien
Thanks

Salut,
J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi faut utiliser le passé composé dans cette phrase:
On a été extrêmement impressionnés par la profondeur des galeries : on a du mal à comprendre ce que représentent six millions de corps !
Merci beaucoup :)
