I would appreciate a lesson on the verbs used when expressing the desire to do something or looking forward to doing something. 

Also, a lesson on the expressions used to mean "picking someone up" would be appreciated. 

Merci. 

C'est quoi la différence entre "les moments que" et "les moments où" ?
"Par an" et "par année" ?

Merci à l'avance.

- Can I use "chez la teinturerie" instead of "au pressing"?

- Can I use "ce n'est pas grand-chose" instead of "ce n'est pas grave"?

- Can I use "de nouveau" instead of "encore"? Please walk me through this.

- Can I use "de secours" instead of "en réserve or de côté"?

 In this example, "Il a acheté deux burritos, mais il n'a mangé ni l'un ni l'autre", would it be equally correct to add "en": "Il a acheté deux burritos, mais il n'en a mangé ni l'un ni l'autre"? And why isn't it necessary anyway?

is 'Titanic a été sorti en 1998' a possible correct answer?

If not, why not?

If so, what's the difference (compared with the correct answer given: Titanic est sorti en 1998)?

In an exercise - Pauline s'habille de plus en plus élégamment.

Why is the 2nd "s" not pronounced as a "z" - given that the word following starts with an é ?

I have been studying the rules and just did a quiz on this.

I often find that if I have a lesson I want to retest on it won't let me & says:

"To kwiz this lesson again, save it to a notebook and kwiz against it until you have nailed it."

but when I add it to the notebook it then says:

"This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like."

apologies if this has been asked before, but I did search & check the FAQ but didn't find anything.

many thanks  :)

Qu’est-ce que c’est « un plaid »? Est-ce une couverture ?

I have few friends

Are both translations correct?
