now im really confused , other lessons say qui is followed bt verb not a pronoun but here its different

Is the S silent for both?  The pronounciation seems to differ with the speakers/examples.  The woman speaking the following does not pronounce the S:  Les ordinateurs deviennent de moins en moins chers.  But the woman speaking the following sentence does:  Nous y allons de moins en moins souvent.

Is this wrong: "Qu'est ce que c'est qu'une baguette"

I was a bit shocked, as one of the things that is alway drummed into anglophones is that, while "œuf" is pronounced urf, "œufs" is pronounced without either f or s, "er" - similar sound to deux. Yet, in this dictée four eggs are very clearly described as œufs! 

Is this a mistake, or is the whole "œuf/œufs thing" (that we anglophones are told is so important!) really just a bit of a myth, and all down to personal preference ?

Are these two phrases interchangeable or is there a subtle difference in their usage?

I am not familiar with the phrase 'chômée'

Can someone please explain the second part of this sentence (in the "Tip" box of the lesson)? I'm not clear what "...and not regardless of which, like with verbs such as..." part of the sentence means.

You won't use this in Indirect Speech where whether = if and not regardless of which, like with verbs such as se demander (to wonder) or savoir (to know). 

Bonjour !  

When do you use "on" and "l'on" when we talked about "we"?

hi, 

I was wondering if in your example for cette aventure etait amusante why are you using cette? The rules state that if a noun starting with a vowel for masculine nouns you use cet. Or is it because aventure is a feminine noun?

thank you
