1. Can I use "empirer" instead of exacerber or aggraver in the sentence "ce qui ne faisant qu'exacerber les problèmes ..."? 

2. Why do we use faire ... instead of the word itself? 

 a library is une bibliothèque

a bookshop is une librairie..           n'est-ce pas?    I was under the impression they went to the library?????

Bonjour,

Comment faut-il dire "not again" si ce n'est pas "pas encore"? 

Merci en avance!

Novel = un roman.

'Graphic' in English means very clear and powerful, vivid, explicit.

Therefore a graphic novel = un roman graphique or un roman illustré.

une BD = a comic strip.

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

Est-ce que bande-dessinée veut dire "comic strip," et roman illustré veut dire "graphic novel?"

In the two optional answers below, why hasn't 'beaucoup' been given as an option to 'nombreuses'?

Thank You 

Crois-moi, c'est le résultat de nombreuses années d’entraînement

In the lesson below, it is stated that "se coucher" means "to go to bed"

Conjugate reflexive verb se coucher in the present tense in French (Le Présent)

However, when I wrote "puis il se couche" as corresponding sentence for "then he goes to bed" in the last part of the exercise, it was marked as a mistake and the correct one shown as "puis il va se coucher"

Could you please advise which one is correct ? or have I misunderstood something ?

How to respond to this question in negation ?

"Quelque chose te plait-il ?"

is it "Rien n'il me plait." ?

In an exercise - Pauline s'habille de plus en plus élégamment.

Why is the 2nd "s" not pronounced as a "z" - given that the word following starts with an é ?

I have been studying the rules and just did a quiz on this.
