Est-ce que je peux écrire

 baisser la température

a la place de 

faire descendre la temperature

Merci

I notice that the preferred translation of 'which makes him the first Frenchman to be in charge of the ISS' is 'ce qui fait de lui le premier Français en charge de la SSI' rather than 'ce qui en fait le premier ...'. All the grammar books I look at say that en can stand for 'de' plus a person - but I can see that in practice 'en fait' for 'makes him' is almost never said in French. Is it just too literary for this kind of phrase?

Salut a tous.

Ma question concerne l'utilisation du pronom "dont"  ici. La phrase ci-dessus peut traduire comme soit "The books I think of are remarkable" soit "the books i'm thinking about are remarkable." étant donné que penser peut prendre la préposition 'de', cette dernière formulation permet l'utilisation de "dont", n'est-ce pas ? S'il vous plaît donnez votre avis. Merci en avance.

Vois ici: De qui/dont/duquel = of/about whom, of/about which - with prepositional verbs with "de" (French Relative Pronouns)

Where is the “Jargon Busters” referred to in the top of the lesson?

Can you give us a list of all vocabulary as an excel sheet or something? I'd love to make myself some flashcards instead of reading a list for using it with for example the flashcards app Anki. I won't share it if you don't want me to, but if you want to have the Anki deck then you can have it too of course.

I find this lesson unusually long and confusing. Maybe better to break it up into smaller lessons?

Why isn't nouvelle année not in caps?
