Are we to translate "smells good" or "Smells the rose?"
As the 'jeu de société' would presumably have been brand new why isn't the adjective 'neuf'?
Thanks
Good exercise, but it reminds me to ask, could we have more topics about the darker sides of life? I feel that because the exercises are very strongly weighted towards positive scenarios there’s a whole dimension of human experience that I’m not learning the vocabulary and phrases for. Thanks.
Hello, shouldn't we use here "on prendra un bon latte chaud" partitive article? Or do they take one latte for two?))
Comment dit-on "crafts" en français?
Does "des lèvres minces" also work?
I used énorme for huge and it got the redline with only 'immense' indicated as correct: a response here from Cécile some time ago stated she used 'énorme' when running through the exercise also.
I frequently come across responses where it would seem either ensuite or puis can be used, but mostly only one is accepted, and I always seem to choose the "unaccepted" word ! (That is why my gambling is limited) Again, a previous response from Cécile in another exercise indicated they are essentially interchangeable, as Larousse also indicates.

Can both énorme and ensuite be added ?
When i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?
I used des rather than de in the phrase "the ghosts of previous paintings" since it is used in the context of a plural noun: "les fantômes des (rather than de) peintures précédentes". Since there is no adjective in front of the noun, why is the singular de used?
