Why a des ecailles de poisson

Sorry but I don't have accents. Why is it "ressemblent a des ecailles" and not "aux ecailles"?

Excité Alternatives?

Are there really no alternatives here for excité? I went for ravi - does this not work this context?

Aussi, comment on traduit le mot "to work" dans cette dernière phrase? Marcher marcherait-il?...

Merci en avance!

< Frapper >for 'clap' and < ramper > for crawl

< Frapper dans ses (les) mains > is acceptable, but is getting the red line currently.

< ramper > also got the red line but is acceptable for 'to crawl', as used by Pampers :

punctuation issues in answer choices - a suggestions - not a question.................

The correct answer should "I am happy, and they are, too." The first missing common is tolerable but not the second. Small beer perhaps, but still....................

«Je suis heureux et ils le sont aussi» means select ...I am happy and they are also the reasonI am happy and they are also hereI am happy and they are tooI am happy and they are too

Re: Chris's answer to Amir

Thanks so much for the link Chris. Unfortunately I could not find "avoir" in this list. Should it be added, or am I misinterpreting something?

Misleading video

the 4 min video with Jennifer states "Use il est with an adjective".

It completley ignores the other 50% of the rule, when you use C'est with an adjective

"Sa veste" et "nos chaussures"

Elle enlève sa veste pendant que nous enlevons nos chaussures

This sentence had me thinking because as studied before when talking about one's own clothing we use the definate article.

Should'nt it be Elle enlève la veste pendant que nous enlevons nos chaussures
