I think think that there should the mnemonic BRAG
B - Beauty (joli,belle)
R - Rank (premire,deuxem)
A - Age (nouveau)
G - goodness ( bon, mouvais)
S - Size (grand,petit)
I'm not saying that this is compulsory but it would be helpful for the ones who have no clue on the subject...even though I am in A0 I learnt it when my teacher told me so yeah..
the same boots - les même bottes. But I thought French usually had the word order "les bottes même" like the usual French 'noun adjective word order' and même would follow this pattern... mais non... is there an easy rule/way to remember for which words come before or after the noun? Merci

I got this exercise wrong on the qwiz, but I don't see any explanation in the A2 Stress Pronouns lesson on why you would use "elle" rather than "lui." Isn't "lui" supposed to be for either gender?
1________ devez prendre une décision. You and she need to make a decision.
Toi et lui was marked as incorrect, and Toi et elle was marked as the correct answer, but I don't understand why.
I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.
My dictionary translated this as 'événement sportif' and did not give 'épreuve' as an option. When I used the same dictionary in reverse by looking up the translation of 'épreuve', the translation was ordeal, test, hardship but not sporting event. Do I need a new dictionary?
Et pour les petits creux et autres faims de loup
To my ear the "et" in this sentence sounds like the way I would (try to) pronounce "eux". Is the pronunciation here idiomatic ?
These listening exercises are really helping me, Thanks!
The text begins with present tense, but then why is it l'imparfait, when they are discussing menu. I didn't understand the reason behind it.
Après avoir dû oublier l’habitude anglaise d’utiliser des majuscules pour les nationalités - ce qui est parfois un vrai lutte ! - il semble pervers de les trouver soudainement nécessaires dans cet exercice ! Est-ce qu'il y a une règle pour utiliser les majuscules quand la nationalité fait partie d'un nom d'équipe ?
is this correct
So am I to assume that all pasta dishes [spaghetti has come up in other exercises] are considered countable and thus the "des", while bread is uncountable and thus the "du"?
