HI,

Example 3 and 4 are incomplete in english translation. Please kindly take note.

How do I add accent marks?

The translation of "Quoi que vous pensiez, gardez-le pour vous" should be "Whatever you're thinking, keep it TO yourself", correct? In other words, don't say what you're thinking?

It's spelt "notable".

Anyone else struggle with the distinction ? Like me, you may use “finalement” too much (and then wonder why it gets the strikethrough) !

The attached link is a good “explication” - it is all in French, but Hugo speaks clearly and if you want a boost in confidence in your aural comprehension and more practice listening without being overwhelmed, his podcasts and videos would be worth listening to for that reason alone.

Hi, I'm having trouble understanding the way "tout" acts in sentences when being used as a pronoun. In another lesson it says that "tout" can be used as a pronoun, however in passé composé the structure is usually: "subject + object pronoun + auxillary verb + past participle", for example "Je l'ai mangé". 

My understanding is that the correct sentence would be "J'ai tout mangé", and not "Je tout ai mangé". Could someone please help me understand, is there a rule for as to why tout behaves differently than others?

In doing a translation exercise something was modified in English as being "the second most" + adj + noun (ex. the fifth richest county in the state). Could you add an example like to this lesson? Because how it's written in French turned out not to be a direct translation to English and it is not clear to me how to address a phrase like this from this lesson. 

Bonjour .

Me being a beginner of the language French, usage of Alors and Donc baffles me.

Can someone help me of how to use both these in practical context.

Merci Beaucoup
