So one can say: Il fait que tu aies de la patience and Il fait que tu sois patient - yes? Both are grammatically correct in English? You must have patience / You must be patient. One being a noun the other an adverb.

Can you share link to the lessons to explain the aies and eue. am in a bit of a muddle. not sure where to look.

I have listened to this portion perhaps ten times and it seems he is saying "il vit faut qu'on".  Is there some emphasis that my ear is not used to?

How do you know the y in the beginning of a word is being used as a vowel or consonant?? 

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!

Hi,

I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.

Thank you in advance.

Pourquoi est la langue française si confusant?

I was corrected when translating "love" with adorer instead of aimer, but on my next quiz "love" was translated with adorer. Is there a way to remember which to use? They were both regarding inanimate objects.

Thanks!
