Tarte aux pommesIs this considered another « fixed » expression used to describe food. Just curious because as « pommes » is feminine and plural one would normally say « tarte à les pommes » . Are there other similar exceptions?

Pourquoi "le raisin mur"

Pourquoi "le raisin mûr" au lieu de "des (ou les) raisins mûrs" dans la phrase :

Les vendangeurs cueillent le raisin mûr.

par rapport à

Mon fils cueille des pâquerettes pour la Fête des Mères.

I am confused: the first two sentences use the past tense, one with juste au cas oû, the other au cas oû but your explanation only talks about the conditional tense and not why these first two sentences are different.

Agreement question

This question got marked "Incorrect" because the past participle didn't have the "e" at the end: Je félicitais Julie pour être parti à temps. The subject/actor in this sentence could be either male or female. Should the past participle agree with the indirect object ("Julie", in this case)? Or with the Subject, "Je"? If the agreement is with the subject, then either "partie" or "parti" would be correct.

Thanks! Greg

Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu es parti.Il faut que je rie. J'ai écrit <je suis retourné me coucher après que tu t'en es allé. Bien sûr, cela avait tort. Je comprends que j'aurais dû écrire la reponse différemment comme vous l'avez fait. Mais avais-je raison. J'ai tenu les deux phrases dans le temps correcte, je le crois. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez? Évidement, je joue avec cette phrase. Je m'en suis amusé. Don

Starting a sentence with "quoi"I was marked wrong on using 'quoi" as "what" at the start a sentence. The correct answer is supposedly "que." Why is "quoi" not also acceptable?
