future anterior of grossir

reverso gives an etre and an avoir form for grossir. As this is intransitive in the sense that he has put on weight himself, I assumed it was the etre form? You marked it wrong.

is the rule valid for "me,te,nous,vous,?

When you replace the direct object by a direct object pronoun (le/la/l'/les), it moves before the verb. That's when the past participle has to agree.

Et la télé ? - Il l'a regardée.- What about TV? - He watched it.

BUT!I don't know whether the rule is valid for for "me,te,nous,vous,?
Tu nous ai regardé(e)s or Tu nous ai regardé

I'm confused again

The quiz asks 'Je prends cette rue ................ panneau stop. I supplied malgré du which was marked wrong with en dépit du given as correct. Why is malgré du wrong?

next Thursday

other than le jeudi prochain, I thought I saw somewhere that there was a way in French to be more specific. For some reason something like le quinzième comes to mind. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks, Ken

Neuf vs. nouveau

I understand that in the expression "brand new" you use neuf rather than nouveau, but otherwise when would you use neuf rather than nouveau - or are they equivalent?

Correction boards?

Hi Céline - you have replied to a couple of queries on the writing exercises this week (including this one) asking people to report it on their correction boards. Both people replied that they couldn't find how to do that. And I can't either. I can find neither a "report it" button or a "correction board" on either of the 2 exercises concerned. What are we all missing? Thanks.
