Good trick. Ya got me. Quelqu'un clearly refers to Elle, yet it remains masculine. Really? In real life? They're standing looking at a little girl.

hi,

I was wondering when there are more than 2 adverbs in the same sentence how do you know which one to put first? 

for example you guys have un paysage incroyablement beau.

thanks

Why is this phrase conjugated with être instead of avoir? "Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons réouvert l'appétit" en place de "jusqu'à ce que nous ayons réouvert l'appétit."

Why is it that the 'nous' form of the verb "finir" is conjugated as "finissons" but the 'nous' form of the verb "regrossir" is conjugated as"regrossissons"?

In the last sentence, I used "Elle est" but was corrected to "C'est" and referred to the lesson for using c'est vs. elle/il est when saying "it is." I was confused by this, however, because I wasn't trying to say "it is" -- I was trying to say "she is," referring to Marc's daughter. What is the reason for the last sentence using "C'est"?

Why not "elle devait" since she had to work hard over a period of time to pass her musical exam? 

It's a bit weird...
Votre voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage. 
translated to: Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small

hmm... having the first part of the dialogue: 'Votre voiture est petite.'
the given correct answer: 'Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.'  sounds to me as: Yes, but it (the car) is small in my garage.

now, the English 'Yes, but my garage is small' I would rather say in French: 'Oui, mais mon garage est petit.'

I might be wrong but this french statement / opinion example is somewhat not the best one here 
anyone to explain this ?
