The vocab/grammar choices are questionable at times here- Il adore les animaux donc il était très excité !/Vocab: This adjective on its own often has a sexual connotation, so it's better to use another expression, e.g. Il attendait avec impatience cette sortie./Grammar: - needs an "en" -> il EN était très enthousiaste etc. See more here: excited - English-French Dictionary WordReference.com

- Les singes étaient malicieux/this has a more negative meaning... one wouldn't laugh about it...."farceurs" is better here as that would elicit laughter

- nous avons bien rigolé !/Grammar: - needs an "en" ->nous EN avons bien rigolé

- j'ai préféré le numéro de trapèze : j'ai retenu /qui m'a fait retenir mon souffle plusieurs fois !

dancing lessons or regular dancing?

the answer given as correct for, Elle fait de la danse , is She takes dance lessons. Surely it would mention ‘lesson’ in the French? Doesn’t it just mean she goes dancing regularly?

merci

What about the verb "faiblir".

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

a reprint of what I posted 8 months ago on Future Simple with -er, -ir'rencontre' in the future in Horoscope de l'année

I wrote 'rencontrerez' for the future of the verb rencontre, & I got it right in the fill-in-the-blank exercise Horoscope de l'année (Le Futur); however, it doesn't seem to fit into the pattern for either regular -er and -ir verbs in the future or -re and -dre verbs in the future, and it directed me to this page, so I'm confused.
