Hi Latha,

I have checked all the examples using 'plus que' and they all sound the 's' at the end of 'plus' which is correct ....

Hi Latha,

A lesson on liaisons is in progress , look out for it when it is published...

In the meantime, in your example, you would pronounce the 's' of 'plus'..

Merci, but my doubt was in general s is not pronounced ..like in.. Jean est plus petit que son frère. How do I know where to stress s?

It seems Cécile’s answers about pronouncing the s in plus are contradictory but both are marked correct. What did I miss? Thanks!

Hi William, 

Thank you for pointing out this silly confusing error, I have corrected the answer and changed the recordings for the 'plus' examples in the lesson which are clearer now.
