Inserting -t- after verbs ending in a t sound

If you use the inverted form, the answer key asks for the extra -t- after s'adapte, so s'adapte-t-il. That looks redundant, since adapte already ends in a t sound. (Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms)

Is there perhaps a different rule for silent 'e' endings?

c'est used even though is expressing opinion of a known thing (and known gender)"Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est bon.".

Why is "c'est bon" used here instead of "elle est bonne", when it's expressing opinion over something specific that you know the gender of already?

This is not a question but about a mistake in the text

In English if there are two children then he or she is the elder not the eldest.

Eldest is used when there are three or more.

Can "se faire" mean to "imagine" then? As I can't find that translation anywhere? Understand the context is probably "I make to be"?

j'ai encore besoin de l'aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire !

Is it "j'ai encore besoin de l'aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire !" Instead of j'ai encore besoin d' aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire!" because it is a specific dictionary that they are talking about?

Studying IB

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if you could give me some tips to use this website effectively, as I can't figure out how to remember the information. The topic tests aren't enough, so I was thinking to make flashcards, but that sounds straining.

I'm doing IB and I need some tips - anything helps.

Thank you.
