what gender can be used with du des a'l' de la and de l'

Cueillir changes the 'ir' to 'er' before adding future endings, right?

and Vieillir keeps the 'ir' ending before the future ending.

Is there a list of regular 'ir verbs versus irregular 'ir verbs?

Thanks.

Why "prêts", and not "prêt"? "On", the subject of the sentence is singular.  Should not the adjective also be singular? 

«Vieux» might be considered an exception to this rule, as the adjective has 2 masculine singular forms, but the feminine singular form (vieille) always follows the form of «vieil» , regardless of whether followed by a vowel/mute h or a consonant. I don't know of any others - does anyone else?

Bonjour,

Could you please explain why "de" was used instead of "des" in the example of this lesson:

Je devrai changer de vêtements.

Merci.

Thanks for your helpful and amazing website. I have a question, why would you use « langues de prestige » and not « langues de la prestige »?

Could I use c'est quand instead of c'est la que to mean "that is when" ?   Sincerely Una

Oh non ! pas ____ pain sec. ____ belles oranges, alors !

Confused again.. your examples all use the form “il est dix heures vingt-cinq”.. in response to “quelle heure est-il”, would c’est dix heures vingt-cinq be equally acceptable?
