Être verbs used transitively
Verbs that require être in the passé composé and other compound tenses are intransitive - that is, they have no direct object. But some of them can be used transitively (with a direct object), and when this happens, these verbs need avoir as the helping verb. In addition, there is a slight change in meaning.

French quiz: Accent homographs
Sometimes accents really do make a difference. See how well you know the different meanings of words with and without accents with this little quiz, or take a look at the lesson to review.

About Today: Do You Eat a Nutritious Diet?

About.com


From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
Left to my own devices, I would live on cheese and diet soda. For this reason, I'm glad the USDA releases nutritional guidelines.

The Latest Dietary Guidelines
I checked this whole thing over, and nowhere does it say to eat your weight in cheese.

How to Read Food Labels
Also, "focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods and beverages" probably doesn't mean that I should drink more diet soda.

Baby Steps to a Healthy Diet
I love this article, because it offers a way to ease yourself into a healthy diet. Which is better than my usual plan of trying to fix all my nutritional deficits in a week and then getting fed up and reverting to bad habits.

How to Get Kids to Eat Fruits and Vegetables
Getting kids to eat well is tough, because they don't have any concept of the long-term. Also because candy tastes better than vegetables.
