Qu'est-ce-que cette citation veut dire ? 

"he must be worried sick at the idea that I'm worried/anxious about his silence" ?

Quoi ? S'il a mal, avec intoxication d'alimentation, cloué au lit, il a plus des problèmes que si elle est inquiété, non ?

Si ça n'est pas correct, je n'en aucune idée. 

That example doesn't make sense to me, if they are referring to the duration of time they spent in Spain, then why use an instead of année ? Even without the need of emphasizing the amount of time they spent in Spain, wouldn't the usage of année be required anyways due to the rule stating that you should use it when considering the amount of time in it's duration ?

Following on from Frank's question, in the passage:

 "...j'ai noté toutes ces bonnes idées", 

how does one know if it's those (ces) or your (ses) good ideas ?

Aren't we using indirect object with "refuser?" Why do we use "nous" here in the second sentence? Merci! 

Can someone clarify why is it that "elle m'a embrassé" is using avoir as the auxiliary and not être? By this logic, I don't understand why "Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur" is reflexive, as the direct object would be the sister? 

Why is le petit-déjeuner (with hyphen) marked wrong?

I used

1) 'récompensant' for 'gratifiant'

Also

2)'ausculter' for 'diagonistique'

3)pour sept ans instead of 'pendant sept ans'

Please let me know if its right

Merci

P.J 

is diagnostiquer an er verb?

What is the rule for the order of compound stressed pronouns? I read the Q&A but couldn't find an answer; I have seen lists for the proper order of all the other pronouns, but I have found no list for the order of compound stressed pronouns when they are used as subjects.

I am having great difficulty with this despite various peoples attempt to explain. Could someone give a few more examples in English, just breaking the sentence down and showing how you understand which is the subject and which is the object. Thank you!

To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."
