Hi Gérard
I have always heard that to do has an abstact meaning and to make a more concrete one. Is it right ?

Hi Muriel,

I'd say it's the first help we hear at school.
Do you consider doing shopping an abstract behavior?
True that when the meaning is close to build, they use make.
Better to say daily task use do with the exception of to make the bed.

Hi Gérard, everyone
It is true that the little things that always seem to slip through cracks are important. Look a that lost pen !

Be careful not to lose your pen otherwise it could lead to death.

True !

My comment is similar to Capiali's:

9:30...Nine thirty. 10:20...Ten twenty. Easy. Maybe only the Queen in 2013 is going to say the time in that way. Do not complicate what you can do easier...

Hi everyone,

Do you think French language is less varied?

• une miche de pain / un litre d'essence
  
  
• un morceau de papier / un kilo de sucre
  
  
• une part de pizza / une canette de pepsi
  
  
• un coup de tonnerre / une boite de céréales
  
  
• un jeu de cartes / un bol de soupe
  
  
• un régime de bananes / un pot de margarine
  
  
• une grappe de raisin / une barre de savon-un morceau de savon-une savonnette
  
  
• un tube de dentifrice / une brique de lait
  
  
• un conseil
  

(did I make mistakes?)

Why the hell our ancestors took great care to annoy people with such words??
And we could find more examples of crazy words!!

Do you master all of these 62 adjectives??

Hi Gérard !
It would be a great help to master these 62 adjectives. Thank you for that !

Hi Muriel,

Let's learn 3 per day.
Fluent English implies such knowledge and subtleties, don't you agree?

Ok Gérard, I will.

Very good!
