How would you say - ‘It suits you well’?

Il te va bien? or Ça te va bien?

Would the construction respect gender as well? 

Finally when would you use çela over ça?

Thank you

You'll take your cousin to the party is gives as 'Tu ameneras ta cousine a la fete'. In all the dictionaries I have consulted, Amener means 'to bring', Emmener means 'to take'. In English these are two quite distinct actions. 'To take' implies that the taker and the taken are both at Point A and are going to Point B. To bring implies that the person being brought is at Point A, and the person speaking is at Point B. Duolingo never got the hang of this. You' ll take your cousin to the party should be 'Tu emmeneras ta cousine a la fete'. Or are amener and emmener synonymous?

is the correct answer. What is wrong with 'Sont-elles cassees, mes lunettes?' C'est la meme chose, non?

In being asked to complete a phrase beginning 'un' and meaning 'a kind of talent' why is 'genre de talent' marked wrong? Is that not what it means? The dictionary gives une sorte , but un type is also possible. If you want us to translate the english 'a certain talent' , which is I think wat the French means and is certainly different from ' a kind of talent' which is rather perjorative, perhaps that's what you should ask us to translate?

So are they synonyms?

Bonjour,

I was wondering why in my tests that I'm taking that I'm seeing the adverbial pronouns as well as qui que etc. I'm only in A0/A1 

Merci

Nicole

I remember hearing people sing a translation of Davy Crockett that included the line "l'homme qui n'a jamais peur."  Can't "the fearless Gaul" also be translated as "le Gaulois sans peur"? 

Wondering why it is bourgeons éclore rather than éclorent

Merci pour votre réponse
