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?

In the example in which they sweep the floor before we come, why is it nous ne venions instead of nous venions? Why is ne there?

L'ancienne pronociation

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"?
