In this exercise, we could use faire face à qqch and affronter to express face something, and what about envisager? 

Could we use this verb to express the same meaning? 

Thank you.

A post further down says "soit..soit is used when followed by anything other than a verb". I’ve just done a quiz elsewhere where the answer they wanted was "Soit tu mets du déodorant, soit je te quitte"! Is this a usage that exists but isn’t good French? If so, what’s a better way to express it? I can’t imagine "soit que" is very common and "que" + subjunctive verb seems to be a yes/no situation (eg que tu le mettes ou pas) rather than offering two alternative verbs.

Thank you.

Write sentences of se laver in futur simple

so you really just add an -e to the end of a adjective to make it feminine? is there any exceptions?

I thought plural countries were aux so should it be 'aux Pays De Galles' instead of 'au Pays De Galles' or does Pays De Galles count as singular since it means Wales.

For in countries/cities, I always thought it was either "à" (usually for cities, except for a small number of cases e.g. au Canada, au Japon), and "en" for countries.

E.g. J'habite à Melbourne.

J'habite en Australie.

However the above example says j'habite DANS le Yorkshire... how can you live INSIDE a place?

I realize this has come up before but it doesn’t seem there’s been a satisfactory answer yet: Why is only “On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi” and not also “On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi-même” correct? 

Can I make a suggestion that Chris' more detailed definition (copied below) of what the verb sentir means (and ressentir) be added to the A2 lesson about sentir vs reflexive sentir. 

It is confusing when sentir is used in quiz questions in a way that hasn't yet been fully explained. Currently the description/definition at this level doesn't explain that sentir can also refer to other concrete physical feelings (via the senses) - not just smell.  And the use of this definition of 'feeling' is not differentiated clearly enough from 'emotional' feeling - thus creating confusion.  A reference to the existence of ressentir would also be useful for us newbies too. 

Sentir can mean the action of smelling and to feel in a concrete way, trough your senses, or your current emotional/physical status.

Tu sens la rose, tu sens bon, je me sens fatigué, je me sens heureux.

Ressentir is to feel but in an abstract way : a sentiment, an emotion, something that involves less your actual senses. It’s especially true for love : you would never say you would “sentir” love.
