In a situation where we are deciding whether to use le français or simply français with the verb parler, would one or the other be more appropriate in certain settings, or are they both equally valid? I am curious if there are any nuanced differences between the two.

Ton assiette. 'ton' is masculine. Right? So why we use 'elle' in the example?

Passé simple and passé composé mixed in literature?

I am reading "Le Petit Prince" and noticed that sometimes, passé composé is used in the description (NOT the dialogue) instead of passé simple. In simple sentences like "J'ai ainsi vécu seul" and "J'ai vu un petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire".

There are instances where you can (or *have to*???) use passé composé in literature? I can't find any pattern so can someone explain this to me?

So what is the best way to ask: Does that work for you? Or, will that work for you?

cadet/ aineeI have heard cadet used to mean youngest of a group of siblings., as aine ( no accents on keyboard) is used to mean the eldest or first born. why can cadet not be used for youngest daughter . In your writing challenge you did not offer cadet as a possibility although for a previous sentence you used ainee for the oldest .

je vais mal vs je suis malade

What is the difference between mal and malade? It looks like aller is used for mal and être for malade, but what's the difference. There's also "j'ai mal" using avoir, (not in this lesson). But given the context in comparison to this lesson, I'm guessing j'ai mal is used to say specifically where it hurts, but I'm not understanding the other two.
