I thought "une paire" could be used as well as "un couple". Does "une paire" imply something like "two things that match/belong together", more than "un couple" does? In English, I would very likely refer to two horses in a field as "a pair of horses", whether they looked alike or not.
Je trouve très dificille l'utilisation du peut et peux. Il y a un truc?
If an adjective in the masculine has a silent -e, does the pronunciation change in the feminine?
Is there a way to get a quiz on a particular lesson in the Notebook rather than a quiz on everything in the notebook? Thank you.

Why is "C'est le plus grand arbre dans le parc" marked incorrect?
It is generally the way one would say it naturally, informally as opposed to the more formal/literary "C'est l'arbre le plus grand du parc".
It doesn't mean it is wrong.
Is it always the case that while meeting a family member, or a friend, or an acquaintance, we have to use or instead of ?
Also, what are the specific use-cases of the verb , instead of , that convey the same meaning as "make" in English?
Thank you!
Hi,
Sorry if my questions is repeated from below but difficult to go through it all but will the tout + adjective remain tout even for mas.plu?
i was confused from the notes too where it is: nous sommes tout impatients.
Hi,
I thought we had to use de after negative sentences -
Elle n'aime pas les bonbons - is given as an example
Would it not be: Elle n'aime pas de bonbons?
Unsure why les has been used here
Why is the superlative structure sometimes before the noun it describes and sometime after the noun in the lesson on using the subjunctive with the superlative.
I am finding that vocab does play a big role in my comprehension. Empruntons was 'en Printemps' for me;-) I do understand that context is important as well, but I didn't have the word to "find." I absolutely love that all areas of study are covered here including listening comprehension which is hardest for me, especially on the phone.
