How do you say "from the ..."?  My guess would be "DE LA ...".  However, this can only mean some.  What do I do?

Hi there, can anyone suggest a rule that works for making a liason between words pronounced...? Not as simple as before a vowel as I have found in the above examples:

"Nous sommes allées..." (liason pronounced between sommes-allées...)

"Pauline a dit Je suis allée en France..." (no liason pronounced between suis-allée...)

"Ils etaient meilleurs amis..." (liason pronounced between meilleurs-amis...)

Grateful for any tips on a rule that works...

Can someone comment on if there is a difference - ie. in meaning or maybe simply a regional or proper grammar difference of saying the same thing? Thankyou

 "alors il va préparer l'entré", aint it should be "elle" not "il" referring to her mom ?

I understand that de + les = des, but is it more natural to use 'des' here, even though the 'les' is part of the title "Les Misérables"? The alternative correct answer was given as 'la petite fille dans "Les Misérables", which seems to preserve the title of the book.

What is the conjugation of two derivatives of "venir", "parvenir" and "convenir" in Le Passé Composé?

I understand that what was wanted was, « Rien ne s’est passé », and that this is correct. But is it not also correct to say « Il ne s’est rien passé »? (I think I got this alternative from the Pimsleur program.)

In the translation of the sentence : The invigorating wind lasher her face , why is lui used : le vent revigorant lui fouettait le visage ??

Hello - I do not understand why Cette année is used, and not Cet an. We are not referring to a whole period, rather to a specific event at the end of a year.
