Hello,

J'utilise ces tomates. ________ les dernières.
Why is it "ce sont" rather than "elles sont." It sounds like we are speaking about specific tomatoes, hences "elles." I am using these tomatoes. They are the last ones. These specific ones right here that we are both looking at.

Thanks! 

Why does travail need to be feminine in this context pleas

The object will be singular following a negation. In this case the object is the `sa collection. But a collection is inherently plural ins de jardin rather than nain de jardin. but why is the collection de nains and not des nains?

How can you differentiate the story from history ie. l’histoire. was marked as incorrect but I think it could have been either

Bonjour! 

Doesn't femme have two meanings: 'wife' and 'woman'? When should we use them in a sentence?

Thanks and regards

Hi,

I read from a text book that I use (Inspire B1) and it says to conjugate Je/Tu/Il/Elle/On/Ils/Elles we do as what is described in this lesson.

However, for "Nous" and "Vous", the general rule is that we take the "Présent" form of "Vous", remove the "ez" ending and replace it with "ions" and "iez". I check with verbs such as "Prendre" and "Mouvoir" and it is correct.

Can anyone verify this ?  

After a listening or writing practice, I check the Q&A.  Sometimes there is a discussion that I find I want to revisit later.  How can I get to the Q&A for a lesson without re-doing the lesson?  Also, how can I find questions I have previously posted?
