It might be useful to incorporate the above into a lesson and give the rules for this type of construction, for example explaining the word order in sentences such as:

Je ne le lui ai pas donné hier - I didn't give it to him yesterday

Can I ask you another thing ? vs. test Q: Can I ask you something else ? (Puis-je vous demander autre chose ? ) Re: the question, as stated, it's hard to imagine a situation where someone (A) wouldn't have already asked the person (B) one or more questions. Okay- a stretch: the person (B) says- "So you want to ask me about a,b,c." The questioner (A) says- "(No) can I ask you something else (instead)?" In English, "Can I ask you something else?" = yet another question, not a different question. Thus, "Can I ask you another thing ?" So, "Puis-je vous demander une autre chose ?" I'm confused, obviously! ;) Melody

Why not BONNE idée?

Why isn’t “Quelle une bonne idée” an acceptable answer as it is the most literal translation?
