French language Q&A Forum

Sometimes Kwizik worry too much about spelling. I wrote c;est instead of c'est and it is marked wrong. Something I would never do when writing long hand. Stop treating us like children!!!!!!

I'm confused about the usage of the adverb "mieux" and "meilleur(e)". In the sentence  "J'aime bien ta voiture, elle est mieux que la leur." adverb "mieux" is used, so the adverb now describes how the car *is*. So, I saw the verb "to be" being described by both the adverb and the adjective and I have no idea why it is so. 

If there is a lesson for that, that will help a lot.

Hello,

"Commun" sounds like "Comman" this is a little confusing, you cannot hear the 'U' is there an explanation ?

Maybe there are regional differences, but I would not say "I am going to see with (Julie), but etc etc" as it is used in the sentence in this exercise. That would be "I am going to check with Julie, but . . . " or "I am going to see what Julie says/thinks, but. . . .". 

It reads to me as if the literal translation from the French expression "Je vais voir avec Julie, mais ..." has been used here, but it doesn't sound right (to me) in English. 

"I am going to see with Julie, but . . " would indicate something along the lines of 'keeping an eye on her', 'giving her a chance to' etc 

In one of the questions - Tu vaux la peine.

As far as I understand, there should be an 'en' between 'Tu' and 'vaux'.

Am I right?

Is there any logic to the gender of body parts or is it just random to be memorized?

in the sentence "J'adorais parler de livres" why de and not des? there is no adjective.

In the explanation of when to se faire vice faire, I think the following statement would have helped me more:

If the thing that is being done to or for is the subject of the verb ...
