Can one also say 'dont les Celtes' in this situation?

Small mis-spelling.

“and I set the table with colourful plates.”

“et j'ai mis la table avec des assiettes multicolres.”

-> “multicolores”

"Pronunciation Note: 

Does that mean that the final -s is always pronounced if the meaning is positive? Is that how French people distinguish between 1) J'ai plus du temps and 2) J'ai plus de temps (where 2 is really Je n'ai plus de temps with the ne omitted as it often is in conversation). How do native French listeners tell the difference?

Not exactly related to the lesson but one of my quizzes had the sentence: “Je mangeais une nourriture très riche.”

I’m wondering why “une” was used here and not the partitive article “de la”, especially since it’s an unquantified amount of food? This was confusing to me.

Bonjour!

Can someone please help me to understand the difference between using qui est-ce qui vs qui est-ce que?

Why isn't "je lui ai fabriqué un album photo" not "j'ai fabriqué pour lui un album photo"?  The grammar section on lui v le focuses exclusively on verbs followed by à such as plaire and téléphoner. 

Google Translate says "I made an album for him" = "J'ai fait un album pour lui" (but weirdly, "I made a photo album for him" = "Je lui ai fait un album photo").

How do you determine which conjugated form of the verb do you use in sentences such as "Jean et moi sommes allés au cinéma.".  It appears the conjugated form of the verb with nous has been used. I cannot understand why this is.

In England, if you ask 95% of the populace if they use the word 'whom' they will look at you with a puzzled expression. Stop confusing french learners with this extinct conundrum.   Move on

I was wondering would these two sentences I made up be correct? I'm trying to understand the difference between the 12hr and 24hr.

Je me couche à vingt-deux heures 

I go to bed at 10pm

Je me révielle à neuf heures 

I wake up at 9am

Thanks

Would you use "et" for numbers over 100 (e.g. 101, 201, 1001, etc.)?

Cent un, or cent et un, or cent-et-un?

Thank you for your help.
