La voiture ______(de/du) Mme deshmukh est Chére
I am curious as to the agreement of the adjective “délicieuses” in the dictation-surely it is the noun “l’air” rather than “moules” which it has to agree with? In other words, “the mussels look delicious”.
vous seriez surprise(you would be surprised) ils auraient de la chance(they would be lucky.
Both are saying "would be" when to use "seriez" and when to use auriez. Because they both are coming from etre and avoir,
Any clarification or any clue will help.
One of he correct answers to "We're going to have to hurry then!" was - "- Nous allons devoir nous dépêcher alors ! " Shouldn't that be nous se dépêcher? Or nous nous dépêcher? Se dépêcher = to hurry, dépêcher = to dispatch?
If I point to a tarte (little cake), which is a feminine word, and say “It’s me who made this” (not the most elegant phrase, but bear with me), should I say “C'est moi qui l'ai fait” or “C'est moi qui l'ai faite”?
I’m trying to tease out whether the “past participle agreement with direct object when before the verb” rule applies even if the feminine object has not been *linguistically* referenced (only referenced, visually, or implicitly in some other way).
In the sentence below the verb emmener is used, however doesn't that give the impression that her mother stayed with her daughter to watch the film? Whereas the english text says that she watched the film with her best friend. Given the context and thinking retrospectively, I guess her mother would have stayed with her to watch it, but it's a little ambiguous (she could have just dropped her off at the cinema).
I used amener instead of emmener, but that wasn't given as an option.
j'avais dû casser les pieds à ma mère pendant des semaines pour qu'elle m'emmène voir "Amélie" avec ma meilleure amie Lola.

Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns? Pierre m'en a offert.
Est-ce que "Il soutient l'équipe de Paris..." est acceptable aussi? Quelle est la différence d'usage entre "soutenir" et "supporter" si il y en a un ?
In two places in this exercise the adjective precedes the noun. I don't understand why. Can someone explain? The situations were "L'imposant animal" and "riches plantations." Thanks.
