Good, better, best(bon, meilleur, le/la meilleure).  How is "ma meilleure amie", translated as "my best friend" distinguisablle from "my better friend" except by convention?  I.e. one would never say yare my better friend.

Bonjour, 

Est-ce que c'est ne pas mieux à dire " je me promener" en lieu de je marche? 

Merci

Bonjour!

Will this be the negation of the following?

Simple tense : n'en + [verb] pas+ [number]
Close Future : n' aller + en pas+ [infinitive] + [number]
Compound tense : n'en + [auxiliary] pas+ [past participle] + [number]

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide :)

Ce livre a été écrit pour les lycéens.   Why is 'écrit' used here?

I thought that "turc" referred to a Turkish man and that "turque" referred to a Turkish woman. The correct answer indicates that "turque" refers to a Turkish man. Please explain why my answer was marked as incorrect.

How to choose properly, whether should i use disjunctive pronouns or COI. Je telephone a elle or Je lui telephone? A real conundrum to me!

I think that "Your flat pleases us greatly" is just as good as "We like your flat a lot."  It's probably a little better translation because it tracks almost literally word for word with the French.  (Just as in "Su apartamento nos gusta mucho" could and would be acceptably rendered in either English translation, with no disagreement of substance.)
