French language Q&A Forum

Greetings,

In the example above, the speaker pronounces the "s" in 'tous'.  What is the rule here?  I am confused on the s being pronounced.  The sentence is:

Vous faites tous vos devoirs?

In paragraph two of the transcript this sentence: 'Matisse rompt avec les règles...' is translated in the pop-up as 'Matisse broke the rules..' I assume this is a fixed construction? Is that exactly what it means or does it mean (as the French indicates with 'avec) that he broke with the accepted rules of the day. In English 'broke the rules' and 'broke with the rules' are not identical. I'm trying to find out if this is the case in French as well. Thanks.

Je déteste quand je connaise une bonne réponse mais je choisis une réponse mauvaise parce que je dépêche!  J'ai besoin de lire chaque réponse en avance de choisir une réponse.  oh la la la la la la la ! :)

Why does one say 'appelez-le' but 'téléphonez-lui'?

The test answers are inconsistent; sometimes dix is changed to 10 and minutes to min and heurs to h.   And sometimes not!  IMHO if it is written as a word in the question then it should be written as a word in the answer ie ten = dix  and hours = heurs.

Is there a way to target a specific language point?  For example, if I look at an explanation of a particular point, then 'notebook' it, sometimes there is a mini kwiz below, but is it possible to get more practice on one particular topic? 

What's the difference in french between saying I took my exams and I finished my exams?
