Using ‘aller’ for imperative with reflexive verbsBonsoir, The lesson indicated that when we use ‘aller’ for an imperative with a reflexive verb we should use the infinitive form of the verb as in: Allez, vous habiller! So the answer provided for the corresponding question should have been: Allez, vous embrasser! Instead, it was : Allez, embrassez-vous! Can you please explain why? Thanks!

ClarityI think that your examples might be clearer if you divided them into three parts groups than two: 1.Supplemental Group Do you have /another/some other/ idea(s) (as well)? 2.Different Group I would like to try /a different/some other/ jumper(s) (in stead). 3.Desciptive He speaks about France and /about other/ countries.

Can you use aucun/aucune to shorten these sentences? Especially, if you are saing "neither". Could you use aucun/aucune with "ne" in front fo the verb: J'ai appelé Paul et Hadrien, mais aucun (or personne) n'a répondu." (I'm thinking now that aucun is about things not people? So, what about personne?)
