Especially the Robert Desnos poem, it’s so memorable.

Hello: Please, could someone tell me the difference in usage between "ou" and "où." I'm tripped up once again by the diacritical marks.

Thank you in advance to all kind and patient souls.

Cheers!

I appreciate the attempt but for me this project has been a failure.  I still have no idea what I would be eating.  I have so many questions about this last menu that I don't even know where to start.  I am not even clear about the cost.  So frustrating! 

In the sentence ‘’ If you manage to reach the cirque, you will have a truly unique experience. ‘’, could you translate this using Hypothetical Clauses using the Imparfait and the Conditionnel, thus « Si vous réussissiez à atteindre le cirque, vous vivriez une expérience vraiment unique ‘’ 

Bonjour. If I were to say "cette jupe coute 30 euros" instead of "la jupe coute 30 euros", would the exclamation then be (for example, a friend reacting to it) "c'est cher" or "elle est chere?"

If you are refering "vous"  formally to single person would  "Vous n'êtes pas arrivé en retard". Arrivé without the "s".

I have read the lesson and the forum. At this level, is it really necessary to learn several (confusing) ways of asking these questions? Could we learn to use one, the commonest one, and then come back to another lesson later for all the variations. I cannot get past this test (but I can get what I want in a boulangerie!)  :)

Hello, 

Comment écrit-on la fraction-> 1 5/16, 5 1/2, 3 2/3, etc.  Je sais écrire la fraction de base, mais quand on ajoute un nombre entier, je suis déconcerté

Hello. Would it make a subtle difference if we use "on doit" instead of "on devrait" in this context? What would be the difference? Thank you.
