Hello, I am wondering why to use "c´est" instead of "elle est" to translate "she is an angel". Doesn't "c´est" mean "it is", used to describe an object? Can you use "c´est" about a person and why is it better than simply saying "elle est"?
How to identify passe compose
For "these old objects" I tried "ces objets anciens" and was corrected to "ces anciens objets". Is ancien going before the noun here because there is some sense of former-ness (the objects aren't what they used to be), even though they are still objects?
Elle les (découper) - I think should be ‘Elles les découpes’ with a direct plural object, n’est-ce pas?
I got "nearly" as an answer on a quiz for an example that was never given. 5,900.45 (pounds) is never shown as 5.900,45 in French, only 5 900, 45 in French. Please explain.
A kwiz I took marked "seize heures moins vingt" as incorrect (correct answer "quinze heures quarante").Am I to understand that you can't use "moins" constructions for >12 hours at all? In this lesson you only mention "moins le quart" being wrong.
Sorry but I don't have accents. Why is it "ressemblent a des ecailles" and not "aux ecailles"?
Bonjour,
Pouquoi est le dans S'il vous plaît ? Nous connaissons que c'est pour elle à répond.
Merci

Je cherche mon dictionnaire!
I just asked my French son in law if he or his friends or family ever call it "Saint Sylvestre", and he says,
"non on ne dit jamais ca, on dit juste le nouvel an."Is it really very common to say Saint Sylvestre? Could that be regional, eg in Paris as opposed to southern part of the country where he's from?
