How come the "dix" was pronounced like "di"? I thought the "x" was pronounced at the end.

Thank you!

Why the n in n'arrive? Does this not now translate as 'before it happened'?

Hi, just to let you know, there are three occasions in this exercise where there is “mille-sept-cent…” in the audio, but “dix-sept-cent…” in the text”.

Why is the plural form of "complimenter" used in this sentence? 

Can anyone explain why "enfants" is used in the mini quiz in a lesson about forming the plural of nouns ending in -eu? I know it's plural but thought maybe it was a trick question since "enfant" doesn't end in -eu. There are only two questions, so shouldn't they both relate to the lesson?

as title says

Why is it "vous vous êtes forcément posé la question" and not "vous vous êtes forcément posés la question" since the verb is reflexive and in the compound past tense? Is it because the writer intends the "vous" as signaling a singular subject?

Bonjour :)

In this statement: If there is a pronoun before the infinitive, ne pas precedes it.

Which pronoun are we talking about here? Direct or Indirect? The examples above exhibit both, so I'm a bit confused.

Merci :)

Could someone comment on the function of “au” in “très au sérieux”? It is optional? In which other circumstances might we see a similar thing?

In English if there are two children then he or she is the elder not the eldest.

Eldest is used when there are three or more.
