In the test above, for the translation of "Marie achète du café.", I chose "Marie buys some coffee", due to the lesson above. However, the correct answer is "Marie buys coffee". Why is this?

Does the quiz question "Do you have a child? -No, I don't have a child" need the English translation altered?

The quiz question

9Tu as un enfant? -Non, je n'ai pas ________ enfant.Do you have a child? -No, I don't have a child.

which leads to this lesson is ambiguous in my opinion. I selected Non, je n'ai pas un enfant purely because I would have expected the english for je n'ai pas un enfant to be I don't have children instead of no, I don't have a child. They have slightly different meanings and I believe my answer to be more accurate. I stand to be corrected on that though?

Why is "daté et signé" not feminine to agree with "la position"?

First off, I love all of the dictées that you offer. This is such a wonderful resource! I was confused on one piece of this exercise, though. If "la position" is a feminine noun, why wouldn't its modifying adjectives appear in the feminine form "datée et signée"? This specially confused me since the exercise explicitly noted that "votre position" was the noun being referred back to. Merci!

I just can’t get this right. It’s the word order that confounds me. Please explain the required word order

The order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun

I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?

Why isn't auquel used here?

C'était tout ce à quoi je m'intéressais.

Why à quoi? Why not auquel since it's s'intéresser à [qch] ?

Thank you!
