le meme vs la memeTon écharpe ! C'est la même que la mienne.

I think it must be "le meme" because echarpe is masculine?

the verb sourire has an irregular spelling in l'imparfait. Can you explicate this? Thank you, Lea

Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un stylo vs Qu'est-ce que c'est un styloThe examples give both the options for un stylo but the Kwiz I just did only accepts Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un gendarme, and Qu'est-ce que c'est un gendarme is marked wrong. Is there something different between un gendarme and un stylo that mandates using Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'?

One of the examples is: Nous viendrons à 9 heures. Ça vous va ?

Instead of Ça vous va ? would you say Ça vous êtes? Thank you

C'est or Il/Elle EstSeriously lost on this one - you mention that C'est will be followed by a noun nd il/elle by an adjective yet in the practice test 'Tu aimes la couleur violette ? Oui, ________ est très joli!' expects the response C'est

Is it more appropriate to say use Qu'est-ce que c'est que in spoken form? ...and Qu'est-ce que c'est is appropriate written form. What did we mean by more formal?

Commencer à does not work

Bonjour !

I have been told by French people that I cannot apply this rule to the verb commencer à.

For example:

Je commence à faire mes devoirs. J'y commence.

I am starting to do my homework. I'm starting it.

Is it an exception ? Or is it just socially not regularly used ?

Merci !
