Who or whom ?

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

Position of the word 'ancien'

'Si vous regardez derrière moi, sur l'ancien mur de la ville..'. Does this mean the 'former' wall or the 'ancient' wall?

The English text said, 'If you look behind me, on the ancient wall of the city'. But when ancien means 'ancient' doesn't it go after the noun?

Saturday vs. the day

If I recall, the English is "We'll spend Saturday in the old town..." The translation for Saturday is la journée instead of samedi. Why is samedi not accepted? It seems like an oversight.

Hello everyone.

I'm reading the book, La Belle et La Bête, and I saw une année passe. Why does it use année instead of an?

Thank you

The "de" also threw me off

I was going to choose the right answer when I second guessed myself because of the "de". How would you say "I'm watching from beautiful hills"? What would "Je regarde à les belles collines" translate into, or is this sentence completely incorrect?

Son/Sa/Ses or Notre/Nos with Il faut

Hello,

The lesson states the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses should be used with il faut, and notre/nos / votre/vos are never used.

In the quiz, "Il faut faire nos valises immédiatement." was listed as a correct answer to the question "How could you say "We must pack immediately." ?".

Shouldn't it be "Il faut faire ses valises immédiatement"?
