In the sentence ‘Notre nouvelle édition s’est enrichie des nombreux artistes...’ I wonder if ‘des’ should be changed to ‘de’ as per the lesson. If not, could you please explain why.

Thanks.

'mais je suis aussi content parce que je vais revoir mon ami Thomas.'

Should it be "mais je suis aussi contente"?

In English there's a slight difference in meaning between I don't mind, which is a neutral expression of indifference and I don't care, which is a more negative expression.  Which of these is Ça m'est égal closest to? 

I came across this sentence in a French text book.  " Elle m'a beaucoup aidée quand je suis arrivée ici."  The speaker was female. Why is there agreement of aidée when the auxillary is avoir? Also is arrivée  agreed as the clause uses etre?  Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There are lists of verbs that take à or de before an infinitive and commencer is on both lists. Can you explain when to use which construction? Thanks.

I know they differ in formality, but they have the same basic meaning of 'please'. Much confusion!

Hi, so i'm reading exercises du style and there´s the following phrase: l'autobus est arrivé. Alors j'ai monté dedans. Wouldn't the être variant be appropriate here?
