Bonjour,

Shouldn't the phrase "meme si je sais que c'est le repas le plus important de la journee" be "meme si je sais qu'il est le repas le plus important de la journee" because we are referring to something specific? (breakfast)

Merci.

I have trouble hearing the difference between "serai" and "serais".  Does one rely on context, or is there some magic formula that will make everything clear? :)

The English given is: I almost got there late. Why isn't it J'ai failli y arriver en retard?

It seems like you are trying to explain two concepts, but aren't explicit about it.First compound subjects take plural verb forms: Sarah et ma soeur sont allées à la plage.

Second the subject pronoun changes form from its singular usage:

je --> moi

tu --> toi

''Je n'ai pas mangé de viande depuis dix ans.'' means: I haven't eaten any meat for ten years. 

Could we also say "Je n'ai pas mangé la viande depuis dix ans" ?

I would have expected the perfect verb for s’ennuyer to be je me suis ennuyé, but the correction to my latest quiz suggests an extra accent as: énnuyé

Is there any difference between traîneau and luge?
