In the sentences Ils attendent son arrivée  and Ils s'attendent à son arrivée ... why use the feminine arrivée, when Ils (not elles) is the subject and HE is the one arriving.  Merci

It's not clear to me when used on. I'd appreciate some guidance about the use of that pronoun.

Bonjour,

In this sentence which I found it in a book, vous etes combien dans ta famille?

Why they used "ta" and not "vos" or "votre"? 

Merci

In translating the second sentence, "Of course Aline. In 1983, we witnessed Yannick Noah's triumph on live TV...", there is no mention of Roland Garros.  I believe that a hint would have been in order.

Hi Kwiziq, please consider not breaking up full sentences. It makes it harder to figure out what's being said because we would have forgotten the context/previous phrase in the sentence/statement. Thank you.  N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AVN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/A

In English, "I have nothing more to say to you" has a slightly different meaning to "I have nothing to say to you any more" - I guess because the second stresses you’re not going to speak again and the first that you’ve nothing left to say. Is there a way to make the distinction in French ?

In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel,  referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility.   Why not?

Franchir vs croiser always confuses me. Please explain

the sound quality of this exercise appears to be poor

I don't understand this

French: "Vous parlez d'autres langues"
English "Are you speaking about other languages?"

if "de" comes from "parlez", the lesson says it needs to be contracted to "des"
but here, it's just "d'"
