"À l'avenir, je devrai t'écouter davantage."
In the future, I'll have to listen to you more.
Are there any rules around when to use davantage vs plus, or are they interchangeable? Could I have used:
"À l'avenir, je devrai t'écouter plus." ?
Thanks
HI,
My friend and I were wondering who would be correct.
She said: The sentence would be vous venez à hurt heures ce soir?
But, I told her the sentence should be Vous venez à vingt-deux ce soir. Since it would be the 24 hour clock for 8pm. Would I be correct?
Thanks

En place de: Il ne faut pas que nous mangions avec nos doigts, puisqu'on dire: I faut que nous ne mangions pas avec nos doigts?
I know this exercise is about numbers, but i do not understand the following examples:
Il lui envoie deux-mille roses.He sends her two thousand roses.Il lui envoie deux milliers de roses.He sends her two thousand roses.Why does 'lui' translate as 'her' in both these examples? I thought 'lui' when used like this refers to him, and that 'elle' would be her?
Thanks
In the statement "mon fils a de grandes oreilles" , why is it not "DES grandes oreilles"? Ears is plural, and "de" is the article, and "grand" is following a feminine plural suit.... I've noticed this with other items, mostly body parts, like toes, fingers, eyes. They all use a plural article "les" but when describing them, it turns to "de"
If I said "he had cats" it would be "il a des chats", right? What am I not getting!?
Is "mettre les affaires dans" not an acceptable translation of "to pack"?
Merci!
I was interested in this use of "fameuse", does it have a hint of "infamous" here, rather than meaning "famous" ?
(I know fameux or fameuse can mean famous or celebrated in the context of food.)
I wrote "Notre Salade aux Trois Fromages est [...] et assez copieuse" which was marked as incorrect. Looking at Le Robert, copieux is given as a synonym of consistant so I'm wondering why?
Does copieux mean more that the dish is physically large (ie a lot of food) whereas consistant just means it's filling but doesn't given any indication to the size of the meal?
