"un jus de fruits bien frais."  Would "jus de fruit" also be correct in the quoted phrase?   

Hi, this struck me as odd: "vous devriez peut-être considérer que la relation n'est pas n'est pas censée durer" - why not just "n'est pas censée durer"? Why the repetition?

Hello everyone. I was taking a quiz in which I respond like this "nous nous sommes brossés les chevaux" but the site says that it is nearly correct and this version is correct " nous nous sommes brossé les chevaux". And it made me curious because the subject is plural and there is a  reflexive verb!!!! Anyone could explain this contradiction?

Thanks 

In the exercise:

“the one which ran along the stream up to her favourite clearing.”

translates to:

“celui qui longeait le ruisseau jusqu'à sa petite clairière favorite.”

Is the use of ‘petite’ in order to indicate affection for the clearing, thereby emphasising that it is a ‘favourite’ place? I’m wondering how to interpret it, as the English doesn’t contain the adjective ‘little’ or ‘small’. 

Why does the last sentence use the impersonal construction, "Pourquoi se priver" instead of "nous priver"? 

Also, I translated "namely" as "en l'occurrence" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers (only "nommément" and "à savoir"). Is there a difference?

My Kwiz question was "How could you say "Gregory is going away for the holidays." ?

and the answers included pendant, durant and pour. Is "the holidays" considered to be a clearly defined start and end time?

This lesson is very confusing.  Wow. I have so many questions,  I don't know where to start!

Shouldn’t the translation of the above say “The doctor’s words are very unclear”? Not, simply, “unclear”?

This question was asked in a TV show I watched today: “…mais est-ce que lui voudra te voir?” My question is why is lui used instead of il?
