The title of the note is grammatically incorrect: "Learn how to conjugate *of* conduire". Sowt it arrrt

I dont understand Ca t'a plu and how this is formed?

The example listed in the lesson specifies "a bakery in the town".

Une boulangerie dans la ville.

What if I was speaking in general, such as "Yes, there's a bakery in town."

Would this be translated as "Oui, il y a une boulangerie en ville." ?

If I go to Wordreference to translate ’love’, I get 'aimer' or 'adorer'.

Wordreference also translates ’like' as 'aimer bien' or ’aimer beaucoup' or just 'aimer'

I chose ’aimer' in ”I loved celebrating Halloween like that.", which was not accepted. 

Could you explain why ’aimer’ is wrong?  Thanks.

Hi. In a Kwiz this was the question:

Avant que je n'________ le bruit, je dormais à poings fermés.

The answer was aie entendu.

Can someone please explain the n' that's in there?

Bonjour,  la cinquième phrase a le mot “départments”. Qu’est - ce que c’est, un départment? Pourriez - vous m’éxpliquez? Merci beaucoup.

Hello and good day all. The way to conjugate “All the tickets have been sold” as either « Tous les tickets sont vendus » or « Tous les tickets ont été vendus » confuses me. I understand the first but don’t understand the second. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure why the subjunctive is used here.  I understand that trouver takes indicative in the affirmative, but subjunctive if negative.  Here it is affirmative, so presumably the word étrange is causing the change in tense.  Perhaps because étrange has a negative connotation, or perhaps simply because it is an adjective, as in être étrange que ..

Hi Cécile , I wish to make a suggestion concerning the translation to English of two sentences in the examples and resources section. I suggest that you add THAT , to illustrate the difference in the usage of que between French and English ( in English we drop but not in French). So I suggest that the English translation for the French sentence il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal becomes; he doesn’t believe THAT we want to hurt him, and the second sentence to change is: je doute qu’ils veuillent venir becomes I doubt THAT they will come.  A suggestion to highlight the difference. Especially that in the last sentence you have used that in the translation. Thank you.
