Lesson Guide?(A)Read and bullet point the lesson but DO NOT read ANY of the example sentences. So you are really benefitting from the 'NUTSHELL' information.
(B)Read your bullet points and and commit to memory..including how to spell meilleures..etc do not gloss over!
Your bullet points should include:
(i) the guideline for all these 'terms' with ETRE it is the same throughout the lesson.
(ii) Pire--the adjective-- is the comparative forms of MAUVAISE
(III) PIRE ---the adverb is only used with ETRE.

lesson said english counties ending in shire were male, so i thought kent was feminine and got marked wrong. how do we learn which counties are male/female?
I noticed that for the two verbs that have to do with thoughts croire and savoir, the example phrases are negated. Are you able to use these verbs in positive sentences with passé composé or is it more appropriate to use the imparfait since it’s hard to know how long and how many times something was thought or believed?
Why is there no "en" or "à" in this sentence ?
Hello. I think I misunderstood the rules about the using cent and cents.
"Cent" s'accorde uniquement s'il n'est suivi d'aucun chiffre.
Following this, I thought the above phrase should be "cinq cents élus". Did I understand it correctly ? Or is this rule outdated? Please enlighten me. Thanks.
Why do I often hear 'Bonjour à tous et à toutes'! Doesn't 'tous' cover a mixed group?

I am searching for some pattern in the placement of an adjective when it modifies a noun also modified by a prepositional phrase. Our paragraph has two examples where the adjective, traditional, modifies such a noun. The first concerns "dinde rôtie aux marrons". There were a number of possibilities given for the position of traditionnelle including directly in front of dinde. The second usage is in the last sentence where traditionel modifies plats de Noël. Following the example from the first usage, I placed traditionnels in front of plats thinking that plats de Noël should be kept together. This was marked as incorrect and I see that traditionnels is placed in the customary position after the noun and in front of de Noël. Is there rule that one can apply to the placement of adjectives when they modify a noun also modified by some sort of prepositional phrase such as plats de Noël or dinde rôtie aux marrons ?
Hi, there are two options given: “lorsqu’on lui rendre visite” & “lorsque l’on lui rendre visite”. Is the extra “l” in the second one just to avoid the “qu’on” sound, or is it a pronoun with some grammatical meaning?
Why is it incorrect ?
