Looking at several online translators (I do realise they aren’t reliable!) - prendre seems to be used quite often to express set, ie when a partly liquid or wobbly filling is allowed to become more solid by cooling, baking or resting eg "Retirer du feu et laisser reposer jusqu’à ce qu’elle commence à prendre" or "jusqu’à ce que la crème soit bien prise". Is this a recognised usage?

And could you have had à qui rather than auquel in the same sentence ?

I’m wondering if there’s a logic for having a singular beetroot in this phrase? Usually you’d make it with more than one, as with "tarte aux pommes"

What does this ........ in the text

How to say "I will arrive": j'arrive or je va arrive?

Est-elle la ami du Lucas sont leur petite ami (girlfriend)?

Then why would he take her to a romantic film?

My answer to a question in the quiz wasn't in the dropdown. Please could you explain why the phrase My little boy is in kindergarten uses 'en' instead of mon petit garçon est à l'école maternelle? Thank you.

why is it: ils ont des dollars et des euro. 

Why use des, not les as money is coutable? 

I have been corrected, (- but not marked wrong), for using a comma between two halves of soit ... soit ... , and there seems to be no consistency between when to do so, and when not too. HELP !!!

I wouldn't think that this is necessarily reflexive, not without context.

If we are talking about her teeth, for example, then yes it is reflexive; but what if she were brushing horses, for example, or perhaps her children's teeth? Would not "Elles les brosse." then be correct?
