Tous les jours, je fais des efforts pour aider la planète. Par example, quand je vais au supermarché, j'apporte mon sac en toile et j'évite les emballages de plastique. Et si j'achète un café à emporter, j'utilise ma tasse réutilisable. À la maison, je ne gaspille pas l'eau et he recycle mes déchets. Quand je ne peux pas faire de vélo, je prends les transports en commun ou je fais du covoiturage.
Is it acceptable to say ' Celui qui trouve la fève' instead of 'Quiconque trouve...'?
It seems that inoubliable is an adjective for année, with "et ce film" being only an interjection, so that inoubliable should be singular. If it were written "qui rendront cette année et ce film" then the plural would be required.
Ok, I should have heard the "la" but I didn't - and I put "le mi-août" because août is masculine. Is it, then, the case that if you use the prefix "mi-" the whole thing ( "mi-qqch") invariably becomes feminine?

If you don't know the person, how can you use te; si vous ne connaissez pas cette personne, comment peut-on utiliser te?
I am having a difficult time deciding when devoir is appropriate and when it is not. All the other applications, I am ok with. But if devoir implies "must have" why is a purse a necessity? Why not just Avoir besoin? And why is sleep NOT a necessity (or I may be getting this confused at this point). This is getting to be more of a guessing/memorization thing than an actual understanding thing. I see from the previous posts that this has been discussed ad infinitum so it's not just me. Any easy way to decide when to use devoir and when NOT to use it in this context?
Thanks
