I’m having difficulty with the sentence "Leurs témoignages ________ louches à la police.

Why isn’t the verb in l’imparfait rather than PC? It seems to me that the testimonies weren’t suddenly dodgy, it was something that continued

what is the meaning of  "s'acharner sur/contre" in English? will you please give me some examples?

Can we ask "Tu as quel âge?" or "Vous avez quel âge?" ?

Please can you tell me how do I find a list of verbs which are followed by a ( sorry don't know how to do an accent on this question section) so I know when to use Lui and Leur?

Thank you

I also notice that the dictionary gives the following English translations of "avoir hate":  "to be anxious to", "to be looking forward to", "to be in a hurry to", but does NOT give "I can't wait to".  Any comment?

I remember hearing people sing a translation of Davy Crockett that included the line "l'homme qui n'a jamais peur."  Can't "the fearless Gaul" also be translated as "le Gaulois sans peur"? 

Voilà deux petites cartes que j'avais achetées.

We do not accord in case of avoir verb as opposed to être in passé composé, but in Plus-que-parfait why have we accorded the 'acheter' verb when with avoir? And does the same happen in case of être as well (in Plus-que-parfait?)

Bonjour,

Was wondering about the word frais since it means fresh. I thought that fresh fruit would be similar to saying l'enfant est frais. Or would I be wrong in my following examples. 

Le fruit est frais

The fruit is fresh

L'enfant est frais

Can I also say

Le frais Enfant

The fresh kid

Thanks

Nicole
