She says, 'L'endroit qui m'a le plus marqué...' - why not 'marquée'?
I keep getting marked incorrect in my A0 quiz when asked to fill in the blank. Every time I will use one of these and it will say I should use the opposite. I don't understand why/when to use one variant over the other, especially when there is no indication of formality in the question. At this point I feel like I'm taking the quiz over and over due to this one mistake and just switching between the two but always incorrect.
Take "le Sacré Coeur" as an example, which variant should I use and why?
Qu'est-ce que c'est le Sacré Coeur?
Qu'est-ce que le Sacré Coeur?
Especially the Robert Desnos poem, it’s so memorable.
A lot to take in!
In English "the day after", "the next day" and the "the following day" mean the same. Likewise "the day before" = "the previous day". In French, do le lendemain, le jour d’après and le jour suivant /la veille, le jour d’avant and le jour précédent differ from each other in meaning or mainly in register?
Secondly, from the point of view of today, are l’après-demain and l’avant-hier used in conversation?
< Frapper dans ses (les) mains > is acceptable, but is getting the red line currently.
< ramper > also got the red line but is acceptable for 'to crawl', as used by Pampers :

Imo, it should be "par carte", not "en carte". Isn't it?
if it's talking about all those subjects being foreign, then the English is very misleading because that's not what I understood from it at all. I also agree with other comments saying how a lot of what's in these exercises are not covered in lessons. For example I have never seen the expression "en quoi" and don't really get why it's used here? Why is there no lesson on this and yet it's expected as the only correct answer to one of these questions?
and why is there "d'" in "mon but est D'avoir ma licence"??This comptine is very charming, Aurelie! May I suggest that you find a popular children's song for it? It would make it so much fun and some of us could use it to teach French vocabulary to the children in our lives.
< Il va rester dedans > is being red-lined for "he is going to stay inside", but it is correct too.
