Je voudrais v j'aimeraisWhat is the difference in usage between je voudrais and j'aimerais? I have heard elsewhere that j'aimerais is appropriate when asking for something that you might not get or are unlikely to get. Is that correct?

Distinction between 1. and 2. aboveI'm not quite grasping the distinction between 1. and 2. above. In the example 'Je trouve Martha intéressante' surely this is also an opinion and as such could it also be stated as 'Je trouve que Martha est interessante?'

This lesson and the quiz are wrong. It is using avoir not être.

"Adverbs of place and certain adverbs of time usually FOLLOW the past participle:

e.g. tard, tôt,... and some adverbs ending in -ment

Il est parti tard."

But the "correct"micro-quiz answer for the placement of "plus tard" is at the beginning or end of the sentence. Does adding "plus" modify the normal placement of "tard"?
