Les jambes, elles, étaient vêtues de collants de danseuse, blancs scintillants, que chaussaient de délicats talons hauts, noirs et fins.
...are the high heels the subject and chaussaient the verb and they're inverted? And the "que" that precedes them is referring back to "les jambes?"
In the context of "He lived and worked there as a slave until his master emancipated him in 1776." can one use émanciper? It wasn't accepted when I tried it. My dictionary only gave émanciper as the translation for emancipate. Now that I have learned affranchir, I will use it.
I understand that one would say 'Je suis avocat(e)'; if referring to a he/she/they, does this require 'le'/'la'/'un'/une'??
Why is there so much emphasis on this when it’s only used in serious written French.
Can you also have "Je n'ai pas du tout été surprise"?
Il doit être le coup d'œil, non?
j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?

In the listening exercise: Choisir ses études (A2), shouldnt the adjective fascinant be feminine given its referent 'La Psychologie'?
The text in question.
Je vais étudier la Psychologie parce que je trouve ça fascinant.
Please advise. THanks
1 nous avions chaussé nos après-skis: I’m guessing this means they were shod in snow boots, but was curious why après-skis is pluralised with an s on the end - nos après-ski was marked wrong.
2 Les enfants étaient tout excités : I should know, but if the children were girls, would it be tout excitées or does the adjective have to agree with "enfants"? It was a good opportunity to revise the complex rules around "tout" modifying an adjective!
