While expressing present continous tense or future simple with present tense in french, I realy get confused on when to use auxiliary etre with subject pronoun and when not to use
In the first sentence of the text - Did you know that the town council [US: city hall] has decided.... etc., the Hint advises ...- "has decided" = Use Le Plus-que-Parfait here.

Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne? or Qu'est-ce que la Sorbonne? but the answer of the quiz gives the first answer as wrong and the second correct? Have I missed something or are they both correct?
