Alternative NumbersJust a fun fact for those who might not know - A lot of Swiss and Belgians will use septante (70), huitante (80) and nonante (90) to replace soixante-dix, quatre-vingts and quatre-vingt-dix

Please explain the expression

Hi,

In the last sentence, j'ai hâte de pouvoir à nouveau la serrer dans mes bras, is the translation given.

Please explain the expression, J'ai hâte de. It's hard to see how it can be translated as, I can't wait to.

Thanks

Bangs adjectives

I don't want to sound dumb, but are the adjectives you are using (excellent, magnifique) BAGS adjectives? Because I see you place them in front of the verb, when only BAGS adjectives do that, and I previously thought the only BAGS adjectives in the 'goodness' section were 'mauvais(e), bon(ne), meilleur(e), and gentil(le).' Thanks, May.

I am having difficulty with this

I am having difficulty in understanding some of the rules around "depuis que". For example, the sentence "Depuis je te l'ai recontré, je me sense mieux" means in English "Since I have met you, I've been in love with you". Please explain why It isn't "Since I met you". Thanks.

you never say "Quel un beau matin !"So how would one say "What a beatiful morning!"? Also, this lesson addresses "What a...!" How do I say "how kind of you"?

Using grand-choose instead of beaucoupFirst, thanks for the great lessons. This is the most flexible and best online solution I've found, and I've been really impressed by this q n a forum. That said, when do you use grand-chose vs beaucoup?
