Bonjour,

Can fois and multiplié be interchangeable?

I couldn't see the difference between them...

Merci beaucoup

How many questions are there per each lesson in the quiz bank?

I am still unclear when to put a de in front of an infinitive verb.  I understand when the de is part of a preceding expression but consistently get it wrong. Can you give me some definitive way to determine if the infinitive verb should be preceded by de (or not)?

In the Sentence, "Le premier jour a été très dur", why is this not an opinion calling for the imparfait?

Hi, can you please tell me why one uses the subjunctive in the above sentence. I thought that you only used the subjunctive if the subject of the main clause and the subclause were different. In the sentence above, they are the same.

Thanks

Sondy

I read it somewhere else that pis is also the comparative form of mal. Can we talk about the usage of pis vs mal ? Thanks.

Should it not be “Pour cet après-midi” ?

'Trop loin de ..' is not accepted - being corrected to 'loin de', although the English sentence is 'not TOO far from....'.

Shouldn't  "J'y irai ...' be accepted for "I will go (where ? - to my classes) every Wednesday ..." . It is being corrected to just "J'irai....". 

From the attached lesson "Note that in French, you always need to mention where you're going with aller (to go *somewhere*)"
