I'm a bit confused as to whether to use Tout le monde as a singular or plural word:

"Tout le monde va dormir"

"Tout le monde vont dormir"

A question on pronunciation of "deux" in different situations.In the video under subject "Ago", in both sentences about the shop "Il y a 2 ans, he pronounces 2 as if it were "douze" (12). I'm not clear on how to distinguish when the last syllable must include the consanent, as in "2 ans".

"en même temps" vs. "à la fois"

There seems to be a subtle difference between en même temps and à la fois when expressing "at the same time"; can you state the general rule?

c'est ma mère vs. elle est ma mère

Hi guys,

I still don't get it.. I thought you could use c'est if after you have un, une, le, la, les, des. Then, why people use c'est ma mère instead of elle est ma mère ? Thank you

Past participles as adjectivesIn the example soyez decus, the past participle operates as an adjective . Are there any restrictions on this use? Is it possible to use any past participle that fits the bill?

n'est pas vs n'est-ce pas

Hi, I completed this sentence with 'n'est-ce pas' but it was marked incorrect. I'm confused. The correct answer given was 'n'est pas': I checked the attached lesson (to understand why my answer was incorrect) but I still I don't see why.

Elodie est très bonne actrice, ________ ?

Qu'est-ce que c'est un stylo ?Two of the questions in this lesson are as follows: - Qu'est-ce que c'est un stylo ? Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un stylo ? Could you please explain why the 2nd question has 'qu' inserted before 'un stylo'.

De + Qui , A + QuiWhen translating a sentence into French is there a way to decide if I use a + qui of De + Qui etc. In some of the B2 questions I am not sure of the correct grammar. To me xx could be that, of whom, whom, about which etc.. Perhaps its just any of the above.
