Kwiziq a marqué ma réponse comme incorrecte car j'ai écrit "dans ces jours-là" ...

Could "elle s'y est installée" be used to translate "she moved there"?

What is the meaning of:

S.M.C.?

when referring to the Duc d'Orleans

Isn't the causative always to or for the subject of the verb?

When we are using C'est plus the standalone adjective,is it always masculine and singular?on it can also be masculine and plural depending on the sentence ofcourse 

Checking a couple of points

Both 'shampoing' and 'shampooing' are formally accepted and used spellings, but the latter is being 'corrected' to the former here. 

A 'bottle' of shampoo is mostly advertised and sold as 'un flacon' - ' j'ai fini le flacon ' is not accepted as correct though.

Can someone please clarify why the tenses jump from imperfect to present in the final sentence? Thanks!

Is there any difference in the meaning or tone of “comment ça se fait” compared to “pourquoi”? In English, we sometimes say “how come” rather than “why” to avoid sounding curt or accusatory. Thank you!

Pourriez-vous m'expliquer s'il vous plaît pourquoi on utilise "sa timidité extrême" mais "son extrême timidité".... pourquoi le genre de timidité change avec le lieu de "extrême"? merci
