Valentine et moi prenons aussi des cours de rockle vendredi. Elle est une très bonne danseuse, et quant à moi, je fais de mon mieux !
This was marked as wrong, for the "Elle est" part. It says that I should use "C'est une très bonne danseuse" and points me to this lesson. Après moi, y a quelque chose qui cloche là... Is it really wrong to use "Elle est"? If so, why?
I understand that, in general, you'd use "c'est" when it's followed by an indefinite article, but that rule doesn't seem to apply in this case. Correct or not, it just doesn't sound right to me. Moreover, the fact remains whether "elle est" is actually wrong here.

Is it as simple as little bits of chocolate?

Hello - I cant work out why in the penultimate response the reason why the verbs conjugated like this when the subject pronoun is nous "qui nous maquillera et nous coiffera pour le soir."
I would have thought it was nous maquillerons et nous coifferons
Can you explain?
For those interested (and who couldn't find the word "tramontagne" anywhere), here is a definition for a similarly spelled word that I found : "La tramontane est un vent violent, froid (en température ressentie) et sec en provenance du nord-ouest qui souffle contre les Pyrénées et au sud du Massif central, puis dans le Languedoc et le Roussillon. ... Le terme de « tramontane » vient du latin transmontanus qui signifie « au-delà des monts »". So it's similar to the Mistral wind (also mentioned in the same sentence in the exercise), with the Mistral being maybe a bit more localised and severe.

Hi,
I am under the impression that when conjugating a verb in the passé composé, the past participle will agree in the following instances:
When using avoir with a preceding direct object and using être and s'être. However, I have recently seen instances of conjugations of être/s'être not having any agreement.
Could anyone please tell me why this is?
For example, why is the following sentence correct?
Les conférenciers s'étaient juré de nous renseigner sur l'histoire.
Le genre s'était enrichi grâce à Ray Bradbury et à plusieurs auteurs qui se sont succédé tels que Stephen King et J.G Ballard.
I would appreciate any responses,
Thanks!
Rebecca :)
