Can't find a unifying rule for both these. Shouldn't it. Either:

Jolie sac & bleu robe

Or:

Sac Jolie & robe bleue

  I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?

I would like to know the best way to study with kwiziq to get the most out of it. Can anyone share your ideas?

In what part of this sentence could you add "nearly", and what is the word for this? If I said, "My parents have been married for 20 years", or "Mes parents sont mariés il y a vingt ans", how would I say "My parents have been married for nearly 20 years" ? Does this require a different expression entirely? For context, I would be explaining that their wedding anniversary is next month.

Does soi-mêmes with an 's' also exist? Can you give some examples? How does it differ from soi-même without 's'?

- Dans ce cas, on est soi-même responsable. [one is responsible oneself.]

- Dans ce cas, on est soi-mêmes responsable. [we are ourselves responsible.] Is it correct to write it with an "s" (similar to vous-même(s) or nous-mêmes for plural meanings)?
