J'ajouterais « se rejoindra » en plus de « se retrouver » et « se réunir ». :-)

On test the question was to mark those words that were masculine.  I marked carpe.  It is both feminine and masculine.  The answer was wrong.  I should have gotten it marked as being correct.  Trick question about word endings.

Le temps

But

La mi-temps ?

Please confirm

Is it a rule that être + adjective is always followed by the preposition de? Or can it be followed by à sometimes?

Why is it not "doucemment" with a double "m"?

It's not clear to me when used on. I'd appreciate some guidance about the use of that pronoun.

Je suis confus.  pourquoi est-ce "la capitale de la France mais "le royaume de France.

Well, so it's true: You do learn something new every day! And for me, it's the expression, "Ouistiti" !

I had looked up "Say cheese", (in both Collins and the Larousse), and found only "Souriez" ! 

I wrote "Souriez", which was marked wrong. Maybe, I should have written, "Souris" ! the second person imperative, instead of the formal/plural imperative?

Even when I search 'ouistiti' I can only find that it means 'marmoset', ("un petit singe arboricole d'Amerique tropicale et aux fortes griffes") Also that the expression, "Un drole de ouistiti" means " a bit of a weirdo" ("une personne bizarre"). Does anyone know the origin of the expression, "Ouistiti"?

Merci a tous et bonne continuation !

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on ne peux pas dire "C'est quoi qui" au lieu de "Qu'est-ce qui"?
