As voir is not a preposition, why is être used?  Is is because the verb is intransitive in this case? So, its better to not only look for prepositions following the verb,  but how it  is used? This is my logic, and is it acceptable?

Test question:

How would you say «This computer works the best»? Cet ordinateur marche ________.

The answer is given as mieux.

But the lesson says:

Use meilleure when qualifying something as good/better/the best at what it does, i.e. efficient/practical, or good/better/the best in taste (food):

Quel est le meilleur aspirateur?Which is the best vacuum cleaner?

Why is it right for a vacuum, but wrong for a computer?

Since the Czech Republic changed their name to Czechia, has the name in French changed? If so what is it? Has the gender changed?

So pour is only used to describe future intent? You can't use it to describe a habitual action? Like "Nous nous rejoignons pour une heure chaque semaine"?

The question asked to clarify if son was masculin or feminin reflecting "Le professeur." The answer was "cannot say" but why isn't it masculin? Can't professeur be feminin by adding an "e" at the end? 

"Je n'ai jamais rien dit!" is an example sentence, and there is a quiz question that tests this.

Just wondering if there is a rule explaining why it is incorrect to say "Je n'ai jamais dit rien!" ?

Why is it not "Je fais du diner" or "je fais le diner"? Why is it "a" instead?

I am so lost!  The information doesn't make it clear for me.  Any other support?

Dear Aurelie,

In the sentence: Ma mere me    .....ce que  je m'endorme. 

Why is it not "que je me suis endormi " here?

Thanks

What does "coup de venir" exactly mean?
