Second sentence, 'dormi' sounds like 'dorni' - that is, no 'm' sound.  Third sentence, 'et il a' sounds like 'et la' - that is, no 'il' sound.

Bonjour,

Comment faut-il dire "not again" si ce n'est pas "pas encore"? 

Merci en avance!

I know this exercise is about numbers, but i do not understand the following examples:

Est-ce que la mère de Sophie trop protectrice de sa fille à cause de "son divorce d'avec Papa"? Sinon, la phrase me confond.

Hi,

Can you kindly explain the use of the preposition in the following sentence. 

In a phrase 'je t'aime de tout mon cœur' that translates to 'I love you with all my heart', why do we use preposition DE to express WITH rather more commonly use AVEC.

Kind regards, Kirill

The rules you give are quite useful. Thank you.

One thing that I would add is that I can remember easier if I think in terms of who is actually entering. If the Subject is entering, then we use être, but if the "entering" is being done by someone/something other than the Subject, then we use avoir.

Mes filles sont entrées en CP cette année. -> Mes filles

Nous avons entré les informations dans le programme. -> les informations

This works in other cases where we need to decide between avoir and être.  (or where the sentence seems to indicate that the action is not done by the sentence subject)

In this lesson the note about the conversational past states that in these cases, the en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.

Following this advice I put "Nous en nous sommes allés après le dessert.". This was flagged as incorrect, and "Nous nous en sommes allés après le dessert." as being correct. 

This seems inconsistent with the note. I see there have been other questions about this topic. To me, "nous en nous sommes" flows off the tongue better than "nous nous en sommes".

Est-ce que on peut aussi mettre ce adjectif «délicieux» devant «gratin (n.)» parce que «délicieux» est un adjectif utilisé fréquemment dans la vie quotidienne?

Goodmorning, in the writing exercise "A favour between colleagues" the solution can be:

- "Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ?" or

- "Que puis-je faire pour toi ?"

Would it be incorrect to say "Qu'est-ce que puis-je faire pour toi ?". Thanks in advance.

"il n'est jamais alle nulle part." This was one of the examples given in the lesson, but I  thought that it would be wrong to use *jamais* since "ne ... nulle part" is a negation of its own just like "ne .... aucune"
