why this is marked incorrectly
Je suis arrivé dans cinq minutes." I'll be there in five minutes
while this is given in lesson
Je suis là dans deux secondes !I'll be there in two seconds!
My head is whirling after studying this long article, especially using the adverbs mieux / pire for making a general statement with être eg Ta télé est bien mais la mienne est mieux.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but surely in English you use the adjectival form here? You don’t say "yours is well …mine is better" but "yours is good…mine is better".
I think there is scope to highlight this more fully. [Edit: and indeed the Lawless article on Bien vs Bon that Chris referred to 4 years ago, actually says that bien is an adjective when used with state-of-being verbs]
I cannot here the "de" in this sentence: on a même échangé nos numéros de téléphone !
Can you also say 'tu as emporté ton doudou?' I thought if you are taking an object and it is staying with you, then you use emporter.
Why we use "va" instead of "vas"? I thought it was "vas" since they communicate with "Tu".
Bonjour,
Pouquoi est le dans S'il vous plaît ? Nous connaissons que c'est pour elle à répond.
Merci

Dans le texte, j'ai remarqué que "Liban" est parfois précédé de "Le", et parfois de La. Pouriez-vous clarifier cela? SVP.
