Bonjour.  I notice that the 's' of moins is not pronounced even though a vowel follows.  Is this just a rule, that you don't 'faire la liaison' with the word 'moins'?

What is

Nous nous appelons?

And when do we use this?

I understand when to use "de" as well as "de l" for vowels, however i also noticed sometimes "du" gets used which is confusing. Came across one of the posts by Tom in the comment section: j'ai besoin de soutien - I need support (general)

J'ai besoin du soutien du gouvernement - I need government support (specific)

How come this is still correct which still contains the word "support" with a different article: j'ai besoin d'un soutien financier and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien financier,

This actually confuses me the most:
j'ai besoin de soutien and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien. Last i checked, le soutien est masculin.

In the lesson, we read that 

3. Direct object pronouns le/la/les are placed before indirect object pronouns moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur

Aren't there other DOPs such as nous/vous/me/te? And do those qualify as preceding IOPs?

Thanks!

Bonjour,

Hi, I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong place I wasn't sure were to direct it to. But I was wondering if you have a sentence that has You and I in it or a person's name then either I or me(moi) how would that be categorized by? 

Would it be direct object pronouns?

Thanks

How do we know in which direction the money is going? Is it coming to us or are we sending it to someone? The English implies it is coming to us.

This lesson distinguishes between the use of "en" and "l'". It gives examples of both but fails to provide any information about which one is appropriate and when. One of the comments says that they are interchangeable - which makes no sense as the tests insist they are not?

we can never use When c'est is followed by an adjective or an adverb on its own, you NEVER use ce sont, even if the thing referred to is plural but can ı use adverb and adjective together??
for example
Est-ce que les livres sont vieux? oui Ce sont tres vieux (Yes they are very  old) 

What a confusing lesson!

The examples are all mixed up and do not clearly explain this lesson.

Either talk about CURRENCY or NUMBERS but not the two together.
