Hi all,

Why would one say "il me reste des croissants" when "croissants" is a plural word and "il me reste" is a singular phrase? Is this just an expression?

I thought that between noon and midnight (including midnight), one never used "moins", but always used minutes past.  Or, is midnight perhaps regarded as a.m.?

I can't find it in any lessons which explain this, other than one example in the A1 lesson.  There is no explanation, however.  Can you please explain to me the rule about when you can and cannot use "moins"for minutes to the hour.

Thank you

The woman is describing the terrible hotel and at one point says "... et après que je me suis brossé les dents le premier soir ...". Shouldn't it actually be "je me suis brossée les dents" since it's the woman talking? I wrote brossée during the test and kwizbot marked it as incorrect.

thanks, Scott

I am having difficulty in understanding some of the rules around "depuis que". For example, the sentence "Depuis je te l'ai recontré, je me sense mieux" means in English "Since I have met you, I've been in love with you". Please explain why It isn't "Since I met you". Thanks.
