I walk along the canals,

Je me promène à coté dle long de ses canaux, 

je me balade le long de ses canaux, 

je marche le long de ses canaux, 

Why is this marcher and not aller à pied since it is contrasted by another method of travel?

Does anyone else find an over use of the exclamation marks ? I don’t take off marks if I don’t put in as many as given in the answers. Is this a particular French thing? 

I don’t understand how to know whether this refers to a person (WHOM do you miss) or to a thing (WHAT are you missing).

Why are Saints’ days feminine if the saint is masculine?

Are all feast days feminine?

Cette sculpture est la plus belle ...

Please could you explain why 'que vous ayez jamais vue' is not accepted, when the English states 'this sculpture is the most beautiful you have ever seen'. There is no Hint to say whether the 'you' should be 'to a friend' and the only French answer accepted is 'que tu aies jamais vue'. Merci!

I cannot quite figure out why the verb 'remplir' is in the form 'remplis'. Is it because 'remplis' is used as an adjective?

Can gagner be used for passing an exam same as réussir/avoir/ obtenir? Am asking because i used it once while speaking to someone. After this lesson i wonder if i used it wrongly.

Hi, i've noticed in some sentences like 'Demain, on doit se lever tôt' they use Lever instead of Leve, when should i be using Lever.

What does this mean, kindly illustrate it with an example.

When the subject of your interrogative sentence is a noun, this one comes first and it's then repeated by the matching pronoun
