  2. Hello, great list ! I'll use the English terms for Owen ! The n°10 isn't correct used like this. You can say "tu l'as bien fait" or "tu as bien fait ton travail" but if you say "Bien fait", it means that you deserve what's happening to you (and it's never something good !). I would say "Bon travail". Laure
