Why is "bien" used in this sentence to say "we did say 7"?
Ça capte mal chez nous - How does this mean "bad reception"? why can't we use "réception"?
Is it possible to translate this as:
Après que CharlesVIII lui-même lui en fit son épouse.
As the sentence was that he made her his wife ?
It says to use MIEUX for a general statement with être about something or someone being fine/OK/better/the best.
Can we say.... "C'est la mieux idée." ? [This/It is the best idea.]
Why/Why not?
To be completely honest, I couldn't follow this lesson at all. Maybe it's just the way it was written but I found it almost impossible to actually comprehend what was being conveyed and I had to seek out other sources.
Thanks for everything you guys do! I usually love Kwiziq lessons, but I feel like this one needs a rethink.
In this sentence - 'Ce n'est pas tant qu'elle n'aime pas ça, mais plutôt qu'elle aime trop ça ' - why is ça preferred over le? Does 'Ce n'est pas tant qu'elle ne l'aime pas, mais plutôt qu'elle l'aime trop' sound wrong to French ears?

However your answer is they wanted them to see.
Could you explain why «coquille» is not accepted for "shell"? In LaRousse, «coquillage» appears to primarily mean the group of animals, and can refer to only the soft living part inside the shell. Indeed the first definition of «coquillage» is «Mollusque revêtu d'une coquille».

Not really related to the lesson at hand, but in the example, isn’t besoin supposed to be followed by de?
Les chaussures dont tu as besoin sont dans le placard
1) Ce sont les plus beaux paysages de la région. VS. Ce sont les paysages les plus beaux de la région.
2) C'est la moins difficile question. VS. C'est la question la moins difficile.
3) J'achète le moins cher pull. VS. J'achète le pull le moins cher.
Is there a difference between the 2 ways of writing? Are both correct?
