Is there a quiz dedicated to this issue? I see the explanations but not how to quiz myself on it.

Do the singular names that refer to groups take the same conjugation like (il/elle) or like (ils/elles) 

Ex: is it la famille est or la famille sont ?

Just wondering when to use il faut que + subjunctive verb as opposed to the former lesson where il faut was used without que + subjunctive verb? It seems to translate roughly the same? 

Why is, ”ou s'il s'arrête brusquement” in third person singular instead of third person plural?

Merci

Thank you!

In some context, obviously, both are correct.

However, the main difference of usage is the position in the sentence:

I just want to clarify can the following be either, 'what is this' or 'what is that?' If not, how do you change the sentence to be one or the other?

Or is it it for example:

qu'est-ce que c'est : What is that?

qu'est-ce que c'est que cela: What is this?

Well, so it's true: You do learn something new every day! And for me, it's the expression, "Ouistiti" !

I had looked up "Say cheese", (in both Collins and the Larousse), and found only "Souriez" ! 

I wrote "Souriez", which was marked wrong. Maybe, I should have written, "Souris" ! the second person imperative, instead of the formal/plural imperative?

Even when I search 'ouistiti' I can only find that it means 'marmoset', ("un petit singe arboricole d'Amerique tropicale et aux fortes griffes") Also that the expression, "Un drole de ouistiti" means " a bit of a weirdo" ("une personne bizarre"). Does anyone know the origin of the expression, "Ouistiti"?

Merci a tous et bonne continuation !
