How do we know which form of adverb has to be used...the one ending in '...ment' or the regular form?
- Marie chante le plus fortement. V/S Marie chante le plus fort.
- Jeanne parle le plus doucement. VS Jeanne parle le plus doux.
- Il conduit le plus lentement. V/S Il conduit le plus lent.
How do we know which form of adverb to use in such situations?
Is there a spelling error in the following?

Hi, in “si bien que nous avons foncé à l'hôpital.” why did “bien que” not trigger a subjunctive? E.g. “si bien que nous ayons foncé à l'hôpital.” UPDATE: I see that “si bien que” means “so much so that” and doesn’t trigger a subjunctive. I was incorrectly parsing this as “bien que” meaning “although”.
Pourquoi le phrase "Il s'en occupe tout de suite" veut dire "He takes care of them right away. (i.e. things)" au lieu de "He takes care of it right away" dans le test? Si je disais "Je m'occupe de mon problèm," pourrait-on utilise "en" pour remplacer le seul problèm?
Hi !
In the question Audrey adores ____________. , I found the answer was le mercredis. Why did the answer use le instead of les ?
Hope you answer soon !
Should the line in the lesson stating:
pires / mauvais / mauvaises -> les pires / les plus mauvais / les plus mauvaises
Instead be stated as:
mauvais / mauvaises -> pires / plus mauvais / plus mauvaises -> les pires / les plus mauvais / les plus mauvaises
It is my understand that both of them mean 'the one'
I've read all the comments here and in the related links, several times.
It seems the rule be stated as, there's NO gender/number agreement of the participle when there is a direct object following the verb.
Ça vous dit ?
The sentence :
Je suis aussi allé acheter une nouvelle bibliothèque que j’ai passé plus de deux heures à monter.
The hint given was ‘la bibliothèque’.
I took this to mean that passé should agree with bibliothèque and wrote passée.
I was using the rule for the ‘case of subordinate clauses with que’. Why am I wrong here?
I translated the sentence beginning with, "do you remember where you put my peacock blue jacket..." as "tu te souviens d'où tu as mis ma veste..." but the accepted answer that used "se souvenir" (instead of "se rappeler") omitted the "de" so it read "tu tu souviens où tu as mis..."
Just wanted to know why we don't use "de" here? According to the lesson on "se souvenir de & se rappeler," the "de" is never omitted after "se souvenir"?
