After learning all A1 vocab, will I be at level A1. Does it cover all topics regarding vocab? Merci.

Bonjour--

De temps en temps, je vois une construction selon l'exemple :

"Et Christophe (ou Pierre, Marie, etc.) de dire (ou autre verbe)..." 

Pourriez-vous me confirmer 1) si cette construction est courante, et 2) si elle reflete un francais litteraire, ou bien a la rigueur si elle fait partie du francais couramment parle?

Un grand merci, 

Fred

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!

This lesson gets confusing because of the incorrect English usage of whom. The lesson actually states 'Whom does someone meet?" That is incorrect. it is "who does someone meet?" or " you went to meet whom?"

Just google who vs whom. plenty of explanations there

Isn't "après-midi" masculine, and if so should it not be:

cet après-midi sera consacré

Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...

t's describing something habitual that happened over a long period of tim.  It's in the middle of a longer passage also in the imparfait setting the scene for a discrete action to come....  

Thanks in advance for the insights I know you will provide.

why is 'ça' used to refer to 'le recyclage' and not 'il'? Like 'Il réduit la pollution' for instance or 'il limite des déchets'?

I just wondered if we have to use C'était un bâtarde rather then il était because Pip was not a human being

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