As 'secondary (or high) school' covers student ages from 12-13 to 18-19, it is not a simple choice between 'lycée' and 'collége' in my part of the world. It may be better to give an age range clue for the students if looking for a specific French level of schooling to be given, as there is no uniform standard in English.

For this statement: "Est-ce ta trousse? - Oui, c'est la mienne."

Why are we using "c'est" if it is about a specific item (the pencil case). In the previous lesson, if we know exactly what we're talking about we should use il/elle. 

Thanks

Bonjour,

Is this sentence correct: je ne cours pas du tout pour faire du sport? When to add the pour+infinitif? Example, when you add pour in the example above: Pauline ne veut pas du tout pour dormir -> will mean the same thing as without pour, won't it?

Appreciate all the help! 

Merci :)

What is the passive of "Des pluies violentes les avaient retardés".

Is the gender agreement with the first noun?

Les filles sont superieures aux garcons  ????

une glace au chocolat OK.....

But in another lesson there was....

Des oeufs EN chocolat...????

Pour quoi??????????????????

I don’t understand the context in which I have to use it. Right now I’m learning that I have to use it with avant que and with jusqu’à ce que, but I don’t understand why it fits there.

Thank you In advance 

In the first examples, you have 

Jacques a manqué son train.

and then,

Vite ! On va manquer le début du concert !

Why is manquer conjugated in the first example, but not the second.  The sentence structure seems identical, except instead of have, it is go.?

Thanks.

I see that Jacques a manqué... is the passé composé, but I can't delete my question now.

Je crois que le deuxième verbe dans cette phrase devrait être --- Toi, qui aimes tant l'Australie, AVAIS suggéré Alex...

Toi,(tu) est le sujet de la phrase. Ai-je raison?
