French language Q&A Forum

I stumbled across a French grammar exercise and I don't understand the solution. "Tu as appelé tes parents? Oui, je leur ai téléphoné ce matin." I thought that we always used COD with appeler quelqu'un, so is there a mistake or what is the exception? Why is this not the case here?

What's the difference between Il s'habille and ils s'habillent when it comes to pronunciation? They sound identical

why can't I say j'habite en or j'habite Dans why does it have to be à

I am having a hard time with this particular lesson. In the given problem, they are specifically talking about pizza which is good in Italy. However, I am supposed to use C'est in this case. Please explain this problem to me.

Tu aimes la pizza ? Oui, ________ est délicieux, surtout en Italie !

Pourquoi c'est « j'ai remonté » et pas « je suis remontée » ?  Je pensais que le verbe « remonter » utilisait « être » comme auxiliaire.

When doing an exercise for my french class, we had to change a word or phrase to a synonym from the text. In doing so I came across:

Nous avons DE bonnes relations.    BUT   Nous avons DES rapports cordiaux.

Looking up sentences on Reverso Context gave dozens of examples but always DE bonnes relations   and   DES rapports cordiaux.

Can anyone explain please?

I get that plusieurs represents a greater quantity than quelqu'un, but I'm struggling with the exercises because I can't keep track of whether they expect a few to represent a greater quantity than several or vice versa.

At least in the English I speak, the difference between these two words is subtle and comes down to feeling more than quantity. 

Is there some other way to structure the exercises that doesn't rely on making novel (or at least regional) distinctions in English?

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi le Prix de la Meilleure Actrice était "attribuée" et non pas "attribué". Il s'agit de le prix et non pas de l'actrice, n'est-ce pas ? Merci pour toutes les dictée.

This is a minor point because it's about the English part of the lesson, but I disagree with this: "Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...)"

It's true that some people claim that "than" should always be a conjunction, in which case a subject pronoun would be used, but in practice, it seems far more common to use "than" as as a preposition (followed by me, her, him, etc.).

It feels very stilted to use it as a conjunction followed by a single pronoun. 

The Wikipedia page has some discussion of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Than
