In the sentence "qui vient d'accueillir son premier animal familier" - Why are we using "son"? I've read the lesson still don't understand. Is it because of it being used generally? 

And in that same sentence, why is it that "De" is used to express "TO learn"? why not "à"? 

Also in the sentence "ce soit bon pour un animal de rester enfermé" is the "De" required because of "être"?

And lastly -  "la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner" why did this sentence get knocked into the subjunctive? 

Apologies for all these questions but this exercise really got me confused!

Bonjour!

For the case under Farm, will dans only apply on the word farm or also for other places?

Merci :)

In an exercise you say the future of devenir is

tu devenra

but in the Explain this you say it's

Greetings! Just a comment on the content of the article: Those who are ethically opposed to eating foie gras, if they are consistent in the application of those ethics, will probably also be ethically opposed to killing and eating saumon!  ;-)

I'm a little confused as to why 'impressionnés' is in the plural. Is this because it is a passive voice?

Merci, Steve

elle a plus mangé que moi   or  elle a mangé plus que moi
Blandine a  joué  plus au tennis que toi. (is it valid?)

Blandine a  joué   au tennis  plus que toi. (is it valid?)

Blandine a plus  joué   au tennis  que toi. (is it valid?)

which ones of them are valid? 

Just as an aside - I find this lesson format (the line by line parsing of the little story) really great from a learning perspective!

Hi

I have a few questions regarding this exercise:

1. The phrase 'je me suis sentie méprisée' - I was a little confused about whether to make 'senti' or 'méprisé' agree with the female speaker.  In fact I got it wrong, as I see that both should agree.  Could you explain the rule, or do you have a lesson I could look at for this?

2. what is the meaning of 'de l'instrumentalisation du vote barrage'?

3. what is the meaning of 'voter blanc'?  I have a good idea but would be very interested to hear an explanation.

Thankyou once again, dudes of Lawless French for an interesting dictée, with some good new vocab.

In the quiz above, there was a question about the sentence:

Après manger, les filles feront leurs devoirs

I was slightly confused as I would have written this sentences as "apres avoir mange" (with appropriate accents) at the beginning and not apres manger. In this lesson it seems to imply that to write apres+infinitive is wrong: Après avoir fait = After doing in French (auxiliary avoir)

I think I may be missing something and would appreciate some help. Is manger being used as a noun here maybe?

J'habite en Californie et ma banque est à Tahiti. Donc, je dois faire les opérations bancaire enligne. C'est difficile parce que je ne comprends pas le vocabulaire bancaire de base en français. Où puis-je trouver le vocabulaire bancaire en français ?
