Hello,

The lesson says: "In the case of de + [people], the preposition de remains and is followed by a stress pronoun (moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles)"

But in the video, there's an example "Vous connaissez des francais?" and the answer is, "Oui, nous en connaissons". Shouldn't it be: "Oui, nous connaissons d'eux"?

I continually get tripped up with this. I interpret the statement as being the last (previous) time so I enter ‘la fois dernière’ which is marked as incorrect. If the correct answer is ‘la dernière fois’ what is it about the statement that tells me that it’s the last (final) time?

For the adjective for beautiful,masc beau,and fem belle,given the guidance in the study notes the adverb is formed from the masc which ends in a vowel ( beau) ,so I assume it's beaucoup. Any more common adjectives which don't add -ment to the masculine adjective?
