Why is it “ nouveau copain” and not “copain neuf”? As far as she is concerned he is brand new.

Please can you explain this lesson.  Even the examples don't seem to fit the explanation

Penser que + indicative ne pas

Penser que + subjunctive

????

Can a translation be found of this afterwards?

Please can you tell me how do I find a list of verbs which are followed by a ( sorry don't know how to do an accent on this question section) so I know when to use Lui and Leur?

Thank you

Why is au cas où il y’aurait du soleil not acceptable? 

You example : Sam fait de l'aïkido.  Sam does aikido.  How can you explain the right  answer as ".... going to dance lesson..."? 

There is no verb "to go" i.e. "aller". Your answer to this question is "... going to ski"", but the sentence is " faire du ski" !

Hi

Regarding the phrase 'j'ai cru que je n'y arriverais jamais', I was thinking that 'j'ai cru' might need to be followed by the subjunctive, as the part after j'ai cru is negative.  Does the subjunctive rule only apply if it is je n'ai pas cru perhaps?

Thanks

Have you noticed how often your reading and listening passages include references to chocolate?
