Near the bottom of the lesson, the green box says ‘-CER and -GER verbs take ç and extra e in front of -a, but not in front of -è’ then is followed by an example with commença. I know that’s the correct spelling; so I don’t understand the ‘extra e’ bit. Please explain. Hang on, the penny is dropping...it’s an extra ‘e’ just after -ger and not -cer ? Perhaps this could be made clearer ?

Est-ce qu'il pourrait parler plus vite!!

Is it absolutely wrong to use est-ce que to form a question using names? Thanks. 

I think it would be useful pedagogically to tie faire exprès de to the english express in the sense of express intent

How would it work with this? Avoir or être?

Why isn’t apporter used since it is bring as opposed to take. Thanks

According to some text books the verb espérer is not used in the subjunctive, only in the negative sense eg je n’espere pas que .... is this correct, and if not is this a rare occurrence? Thanks so much in advance and for having such a great learning platform for French. Mark
