French language Q&A Forum

I'm wondering if A2 exercises will also incorporate A1 lessons or if everything is self contained? I skipped a lot of A1 exercises because I was about 40% into A2 prior to starting and wanted to finish the level. 

Will I have to go back and complete A1 exercises in order to test myself of that criteria, or would it be included in A2 exercises? I just don't want to forget some random A1 lesson because I never see it again, especially as I start moving into higher levels.

I struck a problem with moitie/demi- not a problem with French, but with the English sentence in the exercise. If an English speaker says "I ate half a chicken", it is not possible for an English-speaking person to be certain what the English speaker means. It could mean EITHER he consumed 50% of a chicken OR that he bought half a chicken and ate it all. My point is, that one cannot divine the English speaker's meaning without more information. It follows, in this case, that a test question that demands a choice made between moitie or demi cannot be incorrect. Here, I think, the subtlety (or the casualness) of English speech has not been understood.

In the case of "She's not joking. She's saying it seriously.", what is "it"? Where is the idea that "it" is replacing? "She's saying she's not joking seriously"? Or is it "She's saying it's not a joke, seriously"?

I understand that I have to use "le" here as the lesson is about replacing an idea, but the idea seems so disconnected that I can't nail down what "le" represents, or why "en" would not be just as valid. 

Is the gender agreement with the first noun?

Les filles sont superieures aux garcons  ????

Salut, pouvez-vous m'expliquer la phrase suivante:

Non, mais on devrait vérifier discrètement quand on ira la voir le weekend prochain.

Pourquoi on utilise le futur simple pour "aller"?

Hi can you please explain the usage difference between the two? A challenge in sports vs intellectual. Someone likes a challenge …. To challenger yourself not necessarily physically. Are these verbs interchangeable as synonyms? Is one more common than the other?
