Does 'ces sont' exist in French or only 'ce sont'?
I have seen differing advice on this across the internet so I'm unsure
Thanks
1. In your final translation you say “ je traverserais la ville sur une gondale “, which I understand, but could you say “ je traverserais la ville en gondale “ for “ I would cross the city by gondola “
2. My dictionary translates “ a feathered headdress “ as “ une coiffure “ and describes “ une coiffe “ as a lace headdress. Can I get away with simply stating “une coiffure” or do I need to clarify further with “ à plume “ ?
Bonjour,
Can I ask why the adjective in Maurice est un professeur excellent comes after the noun, while Vous êtes un mauvais avocat comes before?

Merci!
On a quiz, 'Marie avait deux heures d'avance' was not considered correct. But in the lesson on timeliness, 'early -> avoir [5 minutes] d'avance' was given as a rule. I must be looking right past something here.
Hello,
Can someone please tell me what 'Qu'est-ce que vous avez de bon aujourd'hui?' actually means?
I have known French for years but I am not familiar with this term.
Please can someone help?
Thank you
Similarly, descendre d'un escalator or descendre un escalator?
Can we say go up/go down 1 floor in French:
Monter/descendre un étage
Thank you.
One of the quiz answers is "I've got other friends". My high school English teacher would say that's not bad English, it's horrible English. It should be "I have other friends".
L'argent ne fait pas le moine. I want to translate it in English, can I say" Money does not make the monk"?
Cette histoire est mignonne. Il ne faut pas une réponse.
Fourth line - 'and' instead of 'et'
