Hello! When I went through this question (very carefully), I noticed that 'une' was actually 'a', not 'the', so I missed it out. But, as the results came in, the test said that I had selected 'une', and that i didn't select the answer 'le'! What's happening?! I don't understand.

At the beginning of the lesson, it is written that "En, au and aux" are used for countries, which I'm fine with, but later on it also says that "En, dans la and dans l' " are also to be used with countries. (Regions, states and countries) My question is, if I wanna say that I'm going to a musculine country and I have both Dans le / Dans l' and Au, which one do I use? I'm so confused!

Does effort refer to the skiing activity or to the production of the raclette ? The sentence seems a bit ambiguous.
Advised by Cecile: "But the construction you suggest ending with a pronoun might be used by a very young French child but isn't correct French."
I have never seen it so pointedly stated anywhere. Seems to me once you 'learn' that faux pas you are halfway through the struggles of using pronouns....where to put them.
I find this advice so clarifying. I may be making too much of a big deal abut it...but it hit me like a lightbulb.
Do you think, modified a little, it is advisable to adopt as rote? Would it hold up universally enough.
Do not put your object pronouns at the end of a sentence (after the verb) UNLESS it is the STRESS VERSION OF THE PRONOUN.
