Pour "j'ai réduit les dépenses superflues", peut on dire "j'ai rogné sur des dépenses superflues

et pour "il faut absolument que j'économise de l'argent", peut-on dire "il me faut vraiment économiser 

et pour "même lorsque j'ai vraiment envie d'un burger ! ", peut on dire "même lorsque ce dont j'ai absolument envie c'est un burger"?

merci !

Bonjour Aurelie,

Je me demande si Enzo est votre propre fils ? Je peux vous imaginer dans sa chambre en train de lire ses livres ensemble ! 

A very cute story! 

Can anyone explain this; la diane means reveille as well as a name

Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns?  Pierre m'en a offert.

Hi, in the exercise step-through there is an incorrect audio recording. The text is “I first heard someone breathing”/“J'ai d'abord entendu quelqu'un respirer” but the audio contains “souffle” instead of “respirer”.

...the text option “où, comme chaque année, nous avons fêté Noël.” has the audio “où nous avons fêté Noël.”

Scratching my head as usual on this subject. This time concerning "et j'ai joué de moins en moins".  Since I was doing this (playing) less and less, surely that means I was continuing to do it in the past, if I'd only done it once as a completed action, I ipso facto couldn't have been doing it "less and less"!  - hence, I thought,  "Je jouais de moins en moins". Why is it Passé composé? (Will I EVER get my head round this particular issue: it's always the thing that trips me up!)

Why are we adding de in front of  mieux in the sentence il n’y a rien de mieux  que d’’ouvrir..... 

Hey! Sorry, could you explain how I can conjugate "faiblir"? Is it an irregular one?

Good morning. Respectfully, French Canadian does not only mean Québécois.   It includes them and they are in fact a majority but we have many other French Canadians across beautiful country. Thank you.
