In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.

Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:

   C'est le fils de Martha

Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!

I just learned that etre exciter means being sexually aroused and not excited. Perhaps we can clarify. Les filles étaient tout excitées de voir le feu d'artifice.

I wrote

tres bon instead of trop bon?

Whats exactly the difference. Someone told me trop is rather used for negative situations.

please clarify

Surely for cars that are "theirs" that is plural and should be "les leurs"?

Should there not be an apostrophe "their's" to denote a single person and therefore allow "la leur"?
