When would you use ressentir instead of se sentir? 

I’ve seen this example a that doesn’t t follow the rule:. Elle pense à sa famille … Elle y pense 

I’m interested to know how you’d say "this time last year" in French? In English, it emphasises that it’s an exact period ago, so more precise than "il y a un an".

In the context of this lesson is rien the negative version of quelque chose and personne the negative version of quelqu’un (ie nothing and no one) ?

Bonjour,

Above in the explanation, it is mentioned that l'imparfait has no clear beginning or end. But when I attempted the Fill-in-the-blanks  Mon jour férié (Passé Composé vs Imparfait), there was a sentence - J’étais encore en pyjama vers 13h, (which is given as the correct answer). Whereas I had written, " J'ai encore été en pyjama vers 13h, and this answer was given as incorrect. But I don't understand, the end time is given here, (vers 13h). So why can't we select Passé composè?

Merci!

In the sentence "C'est la dernière fois que je t'amène avec moi !" Would "emmener" (= to take a person) be a better choice of verb?

Regarding this sentence:

Marie, quelle idée fantastique tu as eue

Why does the past participle eue agree here? Is it the case of the subordinate clause with que?

Should the sentence be:

Marie, quelle idée fantastique QUE tu as eue

Can Faire also be used with musical instruments similar to Jouer? Like -

- Je fais du violon.

- Je fais de la guitare. 

- Je fais de la flûte.

Can Faire & Jouer be used interchangeably with musical instruments? Or is there any exception to this?

OK. I see that this has been asked and answered below. I still think that you could use either construction:  (a) Non, je ne le sais pas.  (b) Non, je ne sais pas le faire. 

Similarly, it looks as if you can use both forms with the first example too:  (a) Non, je ne sais pas le faire.  (b) Non, je ne le sais pas.
