Hi, in the line

“Second, express your deepest feelings.”

for which the answer is

“Deuxièmement, exprimez vos plus profonds sentiments.”

Should this be “Deuxième”. Same point for Troisièmement & Quatrièmement.

I always understood "le conditionnel présent" to mean "could," but here you're indicating that it means "would," which has a completely different meaning.  Is that just true with "aller" or how do you tell when it's could or would?

is quoi qui se passe instead of quoi qu'il arrive acceptable?

Could someone explain the use of the definite article "les" before "deux tiers" in the following example from this lesson:

Les invités ont mangé les deux tiers du gâteau.  The guests have eaten 2/3 of the cake.

Thank you.

2 questions about this sentence:

1. Is "yeux étincelants" not acceptable here?

2. Why is the passé composé used instead of the imparfait "les yeux...auxquels je ne pouvais jamais résister"?

I assume that

Il faut ranger sa chambre

can mean
You must tidy his/her room
as well as
You must tidy your room
Or would you say it a different way?
.

Pourquoi "il avait répété dans sa tête" et pas "il avait répété dans la tête"?

If you translate 'and suddenly, I'd realised that I could not live without you' as 'et soudain, je m'étais rendu compte que je ne pouvais pas vivre sans toi', the past participle is corrected to 'rendue' (because it's a female speaker). But my understand was that 'compte' is the direct object in this phrase and 'me' the indirect, and that therefore the past participle is invariable.

how will we conjugate  " Elle a des stylo "
