The quiz question was Lucas a monté la nouvelle armoire de sa sœur

How is this different from Lucas a monté les escaliers?

In otherwords, why is "Lucas climbed on top of his sister's new wardrobe" incorrect?

Thank you

Isn’t the character who marries Cosette called, ‘Marius’ and not, ‘Marcus’? :-)

Why does the example of manquer have this example: “Jacques a raté son train”?

What do you do in the case of "il faut que" such as "Il faut que j'aille faire les courses."    On second reference, you wouldn't say, "il le faut?"  Could you say "" Il faut que j'y aille" or "Je le dois?"  Or, does this "le" rule not apply to Il faut que?  Scrambled here!:)

So, it's been sooo long since I have heard that song that I had to look it up. 

Great mnemonic device!

Just one little suggestion: 

Change the word "Shoulders" to "Pebbles" and you have all seven words which use an "x" to form the plural.

Jewels, Pebbles 

Knees and Toys (repeat)

Ca-a-bba-age 

Lice and owls

Jewels, pebbles

Knees and toys!!

Or: You could try it in French:

Bijoux, Cailloux

Genoux, Joujoux (repetez)

Chou-ou-ou-oux

Poux et hiboux

Bijoux, Cailloux

Genoux Joujoux

Merci et Bonne Continuation !

normally nouns need "articles". but   "il" can use without an article for giving an opinion about something mentioned.As you can see There is a noun in the sentence.I am curious about whether it is correct or not?

Hello - 

I'm still confused about why "Nous nous habillions à 6 heures et demie", "We got dressed at half past 6", is imparfait and not passe compose. This seems to be one specific event (not describing a repeated action), is complete, has a clear beginning (6:30), and isn't an opinion or (I don't think) story background. What rule would I use to know it's imparfait?

For the sentence "je joue au beach volley avec Lydia et notre équipe gagne", why is "gagner" take the form of "gagne" instead of "gagnons"? I would think since it is "our team winning" it would be "notre équipe gagnons", but I think I am missing something here!

Is it possible to say: "Mme Lupin est la professeur." ??
