So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? -
- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?
Pourquoi est la cédille nécessaire dans le mot perçeuse ? En fait, le dictionnaire, Wordreference, n’utilise pas la cédille dans l’orthographe de ce mot. Est-ce une option ?

In this lesson, you basically mean:

d'autres = other(s) - unspecific, generic

j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?
"I have been living here for 10 years" --> J'habite ici il y a 10 ans". I know the translation provided by the video is "Il y a 10 ans sue J'habite ici". Why can't I say the I live part (J'habite) first? Thank u :)
In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme! My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ». I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.
We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats!
Why is it "du" and not "des"?
