Sometimes French just uses moi, not moi-même. What about that?Take this sentence: " Je veux bien le garder pour moi... " instead of, moi-même. I saw this in a French game.

In English: We use subject pronouns, really? Didn't know that.

My daughter and they play together.

I thought it was, " them, " not, " they, " in English. I'm confused. I'd use Hugo and them, never Hugo and they. Huh?

Je suis curieux. Savez-vous si le "ds" et le "d" se prononçait auparavant, dans l'ancienne pronociation française ?

Alternative NumbersJust a fun fact for those who might not know - A lot of Swiss and Belgians will use septante (70), huitante (80) and nonante (90) to replace soixante-dix, quatre-vingts and quatre-vingt-dix

Je me demande, n'est-ce pas la même chose en anglais? "as in French you cannot have a noun without article." ou "without an article"?
