If one noun is masculine and one is feminine how do we make the agreement in gender and number?
With the first noun only or each term separately ("l'un est beau, l'autre este belle" ) ?
1 nous avions chaussé nos après-skis: I’m guessing this means they were shod in snow boots, but was curious why après-skis is pluralised with an s on the end - nos après-ski was marked wrong.
2 Les enfants étaient tout excités : I should know, but if the children were girls, would it be tout excitées or does the adjective have to agree with "enfants"? It was a good opportunity to revise the complex rules around "tout" modifying an adjective!
With regard to “avec nos lèvres gercées, notre chair de poule constante et nos nez écarlates !”
As people have one nose each, should this be “… et notre nez écarlate !”?
In the quiz it gave this translation of the English : 'Ils n'ont plus de vin" but I would have translated this as 'they don't have any more wine', which is quite different in meaning in English. Would my version be incorrect? If so how would I say that in French? Merci!
Their Books should be Leurs Livres and not Leur livres as mentioned in the video or am I wrong?
Is there a reason why the quiz accepts "Puis nous avons organisé une fête" and "Nous avons ensuite organisé une soirée", but not "Nous avons ensuite organisé une fête"?
Bonjour.
I took a quiz and it said I was wrong when I put charment last but in the list it says if an adverb is 2 or more syllables it go after the adjective? Or would charmant not be considered an adverb and incase be considered the adjective of Clark gable?
Thanks

In this story, the writer is still waiting the response from the interviewers, thus I would assume he is still working. Hence shouldn't we use Je travaille tellement dur depuis quelques années ? I assume he is still working hard.... :)
