Confusion with ne...pas.Confusion with ne....pas. First I thought always de after ne... pas. Then I read there is an exception when être is used. Use un/une. What is happening then in this example?Les filles jouent au foot? Non, elles ne jouent pas au foot. Is there a lesson that explains all the options?

Qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que?I'm confused on when to use 'qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que at the beginning of a sentence'. In each case the translation was 'who did such and such'.One or the other have been given as a correct answer but I haven't worked out which one for which circumstance. What is the rule please.

None of the "hints" are showing up with the quiz questions.For example: HINT: virer de l'argent = to wire money HINT: Conjugate "s'habiller" in Le Plus-que-Parfait
