in order to make us do our homeworkcorrect answer is "enfin de nous faire faire nos devoirs. Why is the infinitive  used in both cases ("make us" "do our homework"?

Bonjour. Je ne sais pas ce que signifie cette phrase : Le Nord d'Arabie ne différait pas beaucoup des possessions persanes. 

Le verbe Différer est intransitif ou transitif dans cette phrase ? Parce que cela signifie différent, nous pouvons dire : 

Northern Saudi Arabia soon accepted Iranian domination;

or

It was not much different from the parts dominated by the Iranians. 

Et comment pouvons-nous comprendre qu'ici, "Des" est une article contracté ou un article indéfini ?! 

Even Aurelie gives "garcon vilain" as an example where the adjective can go after the noun.  (ugly boy versus mean boy).

yet the quiz won't accept it.  This should be changed

I think the native speaker would say 'I have hardly any' rather than 'I hardly have any'. 'Hardly any' is an expression, I think.

I think I understand WHAT to do if I need to choose an accent mark on a quiz, but I cannot do it correctly.  Could you please explain explain it very thoroughly, step by step?  It doesn't let me hold down the letter, or else I don't understand how to do it.  I am getting answers wrong only for that reason, but I can't seem to correct it.  Am I supposed to go to the choices before or after I type the letter that needs the accent mark or something completely different?  Thank you.

  I was taught that "Comment vous appelez-vous" was a perfectly proper way to ask "What is your name."  It was in our textbook as the only way to ask this question.  Later, when my daughter took French, she learned to say, "

In this example, "You are leaving next Tuesday, aren't you", the correct answer used the present tense to indicate immediate future, but next Tuesday is not the immediate future.  What is the cut-off?  A week? A month? It varies?

The audio recording for the English "hope" seems to be for "horror" instead.
