Hi, I'm a bit confused if we can use "bon" for a person?

It's from this sentence [Il est très bon] when the "il" refers to Tom Cruise .

Appreciate your help, thanks!

Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."

Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)

I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".

My question is about putting "Marie caressait son chat" into the La Voix Passive. I have read Skylar's comment and the answers to her question. I agree with Ron, that "Le chat de Marie..." resolves the ambiguity of whose cat it is. So, I wrote: "Le chat de Marie etait caressait par elle" which was marked wrong. Could someone explain why this is wrong?

Je vous remercie beaucoup !

In one of the A2 tests, I see « Il faut toujours regarder devant soi. » and « Il faut toujours essayer soi-même avant de juger. » When do you use soi vs soi-même? I keep getting docked for choosing soi-même in the first sentence.

Pourquoi “de” dans le phrase Et quant au dessert, attendez de voir la surprise que je vous ai préparée !“

Est-ce que quelqu’un peut me donner d’autres exemples?

Bonjour, I was wondering the difference between when you would use "prendre soin de" and "s'occuper de". So are these both valid and are they interchangable: Je prends soin de ma jardin & Je m’occupe du jardin

Merci beaucoup

I noted in another quiz that famous people (at Cannes) were either "célèbré" or "connu".  Would "fameuse" not work for them?  Thanks!

Just to ask why it is "de conseils" , not "des conseils" ?

Is it because it is a continuation of "plein de" ?

I believe plein de is invariable, i.e. would never use des.

e.g. "plein de trucs" , "plein de choses"

Thanks

Paul.
