I wrote "et je revêtirai les vêtements confortables" and it corrected it to "et je mettrai les vêtements confortables". Why can't I use the verb revêtir here? It's the word I always knew for "to put on [clothes]" and according to my dictionary that's exactly what it means.

Adding pronouns to the mix« Ton costume te va bien. »

How would you say - ‘It suits you well’?

Il te va bien? or Ça te va bien?

Would the construction respect gender as well?

Finally when would you use çela over ça?

Thank you

Question 4 issue - what is the better translation of struggle

I answered "Nous avons peiné a" rather than "avions du mal à". I think struggle is the better translation.

Asking questions

HI,

In this workbook I'm practicing in that I brought. I had to translate using inversion and vous if necessary. So the sentence was

When is she arriving in Nantes? I put Quand arrive -t-elle à Nantes but then their answer said I should've used à quelle heure.

Why should I use à quelle heure instead of quand when the question is asking when?

Thanks

NIcole

Disputed terrorities

A number of places are have a disputed status; in these cases would the form used vary with the opinion of the speaker? For instance, whilst Kwiziq states «au Québec» (as if it's a country), I can find «dans le Québec» being used.

Could someone manage to accidentally imply a particular opinion by using one form rather than another? (Presumably, this would apply more strongly to a less common form.)

(And in trying to find this out, I've discovered in/to Taiwan is «à Taïwan», following the rule for a city.)
