French language Q&A Forum

Two questions in the B1 tests and I may be dim but I am clearly missing something as I am not sure what the "superieur(e)/inferieur(e) à ) agrees with!

Notre cuisine est supérieure à celle de ce restaurant. 

and 

Son (Her) travail est inférieur à celui de son frère. "Restaurant" and "frère" are both masculine, "cuisine" and "Son (her) travail"  feminine.  I left the "e" off in the Notre cuisine sentence and put it on in the Son travail sentence. Help!

Of course I try to spend less time on social media, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Here is a channel I found, which is fun to listen to, quite easy to understand, and helps to improve how French your French sounds:

Advised by Cecile: "But the construction you suggest ending with a pronoun might be used by a very young French child but isn't correct French."

 I have never seen it so pointedly stated anywhere. Seems to me once you 'learn' that faux pas you are halfway through the struggles of using pronouns....where to put them.

I find this advice so clarifying. I may be making too much of a big deal abut it...but it hit me like a lightbulb.

Do you think, modified a little,  it is advisable to adopt as  rote? Would it hold up universally enough. 

Do not put your object pronouns at the end of a sentence (after the verb) UNLESS it is the STRESS VERSION OF THE PRONOUN. 

Could you use "une petite pause" instead of "Prendre le goûter ?

(A)Read and bullet point the lesson but DO NOT read ANY of the example sentences. So you are really benefitting from the 'NUTSHELL' information.

(B)Read your bullet points and and commit to memory..including  how to spell meilleures..etc do not gloss over!

      Your bullet points should include:

            (i) the guideline for all these 'terms' with  ETRE it  is the same throughout the lesson.

            (ii) Pire--the adjective-- is the comparative forms of MAUVAISE 

           (III) PIRE ---the adverb is only used with ETRE. 

           (1V) So 'pire' the adjective means 'worse' (la pire the worst) and PIRE the ADVERB is                               only found with ETRE.

(C)Now read the entire lesson again. including the example sentences, you should have a clearer grasp of the choices made. 

(D) Then go off in confidence and "soyez les meilleurs et faites bien vos comparatifs!!

  I notice that in the written and dictation practice exercises, the material drawn upon is mainly focused on the level that the exercise is from, and doesn't seem to build as much on the progress of grammatical topics from previous levels.

   I find that in doing lessons from lower levels, I often catch myself not knowing something, and it's very humbling. But that's what I'm here to do (I have a premium subscription to progress with Lawless French), to learn another language.

  Thank you in advance for any feedback.

What does this term mean in the context of a hotel and restaurant ?   BTW, thanks for another challenging C1.  I cannot yet imagine understanding all of this without the possibility of repetition.   Still plodding along with a score of 57/80 with considerable repetition required.

Hello.
The English sentence is: I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie!

I must have missed the rule that explains the use of conditional past in French. Can you enlighten me please.

Thanks.

Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup   or  Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup. 

Please clarify.  TIA.
