Alternative NumbersJust a fun fact for those who might not know - A lot of Swiss and Belgians will use septante (70), huitante (80) and nonante (90) to replace soixante-dix, quatre-vingts and quatre-vingt-dix

you never say "Quel un beau matin !"So how would one say "What a beatiful morning!"? Also, this lesson addresses "What a...!" How do I say "how kind of you"?

C'est nul vs Il est nul

The quiz asked "It's lame", "_____ nul".

The answer that it wants is "C'est nul".

Why can't it be "Il est nul"?

Suppose the sentence was a response to the question "What do you think of that film?"

The answer is providing an opinion with an adjective which it is applying to a specific thing - "that film".

That sounds a lot like case 2b in the lesson:

"2. Cases expressing opinions or simple statements (adjectives) about prementioned things"

"b. il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things"

Please explain the expression

Hi,

In the last sentence, j'ai hâte de pouvoir à nouveau la serrer dans mes bras, is the translation given.

Please explain the expression, J'ai hâte de. It's hard to see how it can be translated as, I can't wait to.

Thanks
