Can I refer this way only to Anna (respectfully) or the sentence definitely refers to multiple female persons?
What can only be at the end of the sentence, and you use quoi and NOT que.
I spent a while trying to understand this sentence, as there are several examples given later on with "que" or "qu’" at the beginning, eg qu’est-ce ?", "que veut-il ?"and indeed those starting "qu’est-ce que". I reckoned it only applies to your first group of sentences where intonation, rather than inversion is used to ask the question - is that right?
What's the rationale for using 'jeunes maries' (sorry, doesn't do accent in the boxes) and not 'nouveaux maries' here?
Bonjour!
I noticed that in the sentence une femme heureuse at des femmes heureuses that the es was not underline like the others were.
I was hoping if you could fix that and underline the es so it could help the reader whose reading it understand it better. It was 2x on the same page.

I am trying why the woman's male partner addresses her as "tu" in one sentence, then as "vous" in the next sentence. Would please explain why?
Bonjour! Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait m'expliquer pourquoi l'exercise dit "payer pour qqch" au lieu de payer qqch? Est-ce que payer devrait etre transitif dans ce cas? (Desole pour ne pas avoir mis les accents!) Merci en avance!
Can you help me with french sounds??
Especially the nasal sounds...
In the following example, I am struggling to understand why we must use la and not lui? To me, it sounds like the sentence requires an indirect object pronoun, because the question "What" is not answered in response to the "must", which is the verb in this sentence. I use the "what" test to determine if there is a direct object in the sentence. With this sentence, should I consider "what must they warn" as my question, or "what must they do". Apologies if my line of thought is completely skewed but it seems to work in most cases.
Does Julie know? We must warn her ,
- Julie est au courant ? Il faut lui prévenir,- Julie est au courant ? Il faut la prévenir,it could be a strong belief so why marked wrong in favour of penser
I answered "je n'en ai aucun". Is this not correct as well as just "aucun" ? The example that Celine gives below seems to indicate that's an option.
