Leurs prouesses ou leur prouesse?

J'ai écrit 'leur prouesse'. Est-ce qu'il y a une différence phonétique entre le singulier et le pluriel?

Describing people

It seems that the examples are in bad taste. Do French people talk about people so subjectively?

The only time polite people talk about appearances is when they are describing a person wanted by police for a crime.

Fun song!

Merci Aurelie. This was a really fun and uplifting song to listen to. Great listening practice. You are right - it is a bit fast, but I was able to follow along while reading the lyrics. Actually, the first two lines were the hardest to understand - I'm not even sure what it means in English to 'redden the tea in Amman's souks'!

Loved watching everyone draw their colorful images, too.

Conjugation after the use of queJe veux tellement qu'ils finissent ensemble. Je le souhaite de tout mon cœur.I want them to end up together so much. I wish it with all my heart.
why is it qu'ils finissent and not qu'ils finir ensemble. Isn't the second verb supposed to be infinitive or does the que indicate the beginning of a new sentence?

Il a descendu le boulevard st michel

Why is this avoir? I appreciate the verb is followed by a noun but its no different to getting off a plane, in real terms. I seem to be finding this matter unusually difficult

You will take down what he saysJust checking, is “take down” correct? It isn’t in Linguee or WordReference. Should it be “take in”?

D'ici demain vs d'ici ce soir

I'm perplexed. My answer to a quiz was marked wrong when I translated "by tonight" as "d'ici soir". Apparently it should be d'ici ce soir. But by tomorrow is "d'ici demain". Could you please explain the difference because the lesson doesn't address this. Thanks.
