to help me remember which demonstrative pronoun to use.  I'm surprised i haven't come across this somewhere else because now it seems obvious to me.

Anyway, thought i'd share in case it can help others.

Think of them like this:

ce-lui

c-eux

c-elle

c-elles

of course, just remove the hyphen and you have your correct demonstrative pronoun!

I see several people have asked this or similar question. I’ve read one available answer and am still confused, and I continually run up against this des vs les.

Example: Men use razors to shave. = LES hommes utilisent DES rasoirs pour se raser.

It is LES hommes because it’s referring to men in general. Why is it not LES rasoirs? Isn’t it referring to razors in general?

Thank you for any help. 

At the end of the conversation the Aunt says the mirrors are too cute.   Then she says "I'll take them."   How many does she want to buy for her niece??  I would have expected her to say "I'll take one"  Or does "Je les prends !" not mean I'll take them.  I'm confused.

I don't know if this is important, but in English (at least, American) we don't usually say "food shopping" but "grocery shopping". =)

Great lesson but didn’t see it til I failed a test question:(. Is there a way to find new lessons easily if one has already gotten 100% on all existing lessons? Merci

 Is there a difference between

"Je me réveille à sept heures du matin tous les jours"

and

"Je me réveille tous les jours à sept heures du matin" ?

Does anyone know what that sentence means? In English, please.

It's the first sentence in this lesson.

Thanks.
