In the last sentence, "Exactement Yvan ! Prenez votre temps et restez détendus !", the adjective détendus is plural; the previous comment was directed at Yvan. I would expect the singular détendu if the comment is directed at Yvan. Another interpretation is that the comment is directed at both Yvan and his friend or perhaps others in the group. It is a bit ambiguous. Do you agree?
Hello experts and learners
Regarding the sentance, 'ce qui a eu pour résultat la création de l'Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française',
Would it also be correct to write, 'ce qui s'est ensuivi la création de l'Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française'?
:)
The question that led me here asked to fill in the proper tense of the verb ‘venir’ in this sentence: Il______heir. I wrote ‘Il est venu heir.’ The correction said the correct answer was Il sont venu. Wouldn’t the ‘sont’ tense be used instead for the third person plural (ils)?
To say in/during the afternoon, we use "dans"? (ex. Il y aura un vent frais dans l'après-midi). To say in/during the morning or evening, we don't use a preposition, correct? (ex. Je vais au marché le matin/ce matin).

Bonjour - what purpose does the “le” in this exercise sentence have?
Nous paraissons plus jeunes que nous le sommes.
We look younger than we are.Merci beaucoup
When do you use "que" and when do you use "dont"?
In the sentence, "De plus, l'aspect défi de cette initiative permet de déstigmatiser la non-consommation d'alcool...", I don't understand 'l'aspect défi'. In my dictionary, aspect and défi are both nouns, aspect and challenge respectively. Can you first translate and then explain? Thanks.
Can 'les gosses' be used here instead of 'les enfants' for 'the kids' ?
