I see that the preferred translation for 'my thirst for reading' is 'ma soif de lecture' but I don't see how this relates to article use. She has a thirst for reading in general / the idea of reading. If she had 'an enthusiasm for reading' it would surely be 'un enthousiasme pour la lecture'. What am I missing?

It would be so helpful if we could slow down the reading of the test and to repeat a phrase

Adding the passé simple to the picture is such a pain in the neck, really!!! Can I use un combattre in stead of une bataille to the final sentence of the story.

Shouldn't it be "Elle a dû l'oubliée?" [She must have forgotten it.] 

Here, Oublier is infinitive form of the verb which means - to forget. So, in this example isn't it translated to - She must have forget about it, which doesn't sound right. How can it be translated to '...forgotten it.' which is past tense?

Is it acceptable to say 'nuits hivernales' here?

Hello everyone. I was taking a quiz in which I respond like this "nous nous sommes brossés les chevaux" but the site says that it is nearly correct and this version is correct " nous nous sommes brossé les chevaux". And it made me curious because the subject is plural and there is a  reflexive verb!!!! Anyone could explain this contradiction?

Thanks 

Aujourd’hui, quel âge avez-vous?

I thought that the inclusion of ni … ni in this answer meant ‘neither Sam nor Paul’ not just ‘Sam and Paul’. Am I mistaken?

What is the correct order to ask questions in French?

I mean, can we put all of the words of interrogation like (quand qui que) in different places like we do with ou` and the different places can we put the subject and the verb?

for example : ou`te es ?_ou` es tu? - tu es ou`?

It's very frustrating, even after listening to it 20 times and with the volume turned up, I hear, "...mais longtemps encore très souvent les chansons à la radio...".
