pourquoi est incroyable devant la vue

Could you say:

Il y a les chiens... to say there are dogs

and then say il y a des chiens... to say there are some dogs?

What is the difference in usage with cependant, alors que, pourtant, et en revanche? 

When comparing my answer with Kwizbot's (around Question 9):

Kwizbot: Ajoutez-y quelques CUILLERS de crème

Me: Ajoutez y quelques CUILLÈRES de crème

Kwizbot spells cuillères correctly in the answer box but incorrectly in the comparison box.

Hope this makes sense

This example makes sense, as we can replace Lucie et moi with nous:

Lucie et moi allons au cinéma tous les mercredis.

However, in everyday spoken French, most people use on for the first person plural as the conjugation is easier (eg: On va au cinéma), where the conjugation takes the form of the third person singular. Given this, can we also use the third person singular conjugation here? That is:

Lucie et moi va au cinéma tous les mercredis.

Bonjour à tous,

I am not clear on when one uses payer vs payer pour and I haven't been able to find a good explanation anywhere. Hope you can help.

Why are these 2 words "fascine and intimide"  not written in the passé composé.  

Still not sure how to distinguish the use of these two.  Any help?

For the question: 'How could you say "Gregory is going away for the holidays.",' 3 answers are correct:

Gregory part durant les vacances. 

Gregory part pendant les vacances. 

Gregory part pour les vacances.

In the lesson it is explained that durant/pendant is only used "to express a duration with a clear beginning and end." Holiday doesn't have it, so shouldn't be 'pour' the only valid option?

Question:  why does this mean "we fear that he would change his mind" ? Is it the ne-que=only? that he changes his mind? 

This was on my Kwizig test and I just don't see anything that indicates "would."

merci, 

anne
