Same query regarding the subjunctive but different sentence:

C'est le seul footballeur qui ait réussi à me faire pleurer....

La parade is used as translation for the parade.  Is using le defile (sorry, can't get the accent aigu on the e's) incorrect? I don't even see it as an option in any of the possible translations listed.  

Why is the article for rose du rather than le? Earlier in the paragraph le bleu is used...

Why is my answer the wrong way round??

I miss our Netflix and pizza nights!

I wrote = Je manque nos soirees Netflix et pizza.... 

but best answer places ... Nos soirees Netflix et pizza me manquent... at the beginning of the sentence and I don't understand and the grammar doesn't explain why!! HELP ME!!! Thanks guys

"Tandis que le 14 février s'approche à grands pas"

1.  What does "à grands pas" add here that is not covered by "s'approche"

2.  Why is the reflexive verb used?  Would not "approcher" cover the same semantic territory?  It doesn't approach itself.

Thanks

quick question: in French you say "ce sont NOS livres". Why is le pluriel of "le nôtre", written as "les nôtres" in this lesson?!

I’m wondering how you express next/the next/last/the last for the four seasons? Was unable to find an example on the site.

I would like to know why the last phrase is in the present "c'est avec des larmes" when the rest of the text is in the past. I have seen the present used for obituaries, but on those occasions the present is used throughout the text, not just on one occasion. Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui peut m'expliquer?
