repeating the exercise

Did there not used to be a button to 'TRY THIS EXERCISE AGAIN'? I like to repeat these writing tasks several times to reinforce new vocabulary and expressions. When I go to the button TAKE ANOTHER WRITING EXERCISE I then have to search the exercise again out the whole list of writing exercises... quite time consuming

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a list of the sports to know whether or not it is jouer or faire? i do know which ones are masculine and fem i just need to know how you determine which is faire or jouer.

i had scrolled down and found Céline's answer and it made more sense.

Position of adverbsThe question was "Nous ________ beaucoup de vin samedi dernier. We drank a lot of wine last Saturday.(HINT: Conjugate ''boire'' (to drink) in Le Passé Composé)"
While I am aware this question relates to the compound verb, I am unclear about why the "beaucoup" is not between the auxiliary and past participle as per this lesson? Can you advise?

Repetition of prepositions?

The recommended translation reads 'au sein de sa famille ou au sein de sa communauté'. Why is the long prepositional phrase repeated? Could you not say 'au sein de sa famille ou de sa communauté'?

Après que j'ai vu ce film, j'étais OR j'ai été bouleversé?

In the "après que" lesson, should the above example read instead

Après que j'ai vu ce film, j'ai été bouleversé.

in order for the tense to agree with that of the main verb as indicated?

Of course, " j'étais bouleversé" sounds closer to "I was overwhelmed"

If the answer is no, what is the difference in meaning between the two "options"?

Thank you,

Anna

What about the verb "faiblir".

Hey! Sorry, could you explain how I can conjugate "faiblir"? Is it an irregular one?

La mi-août

Ok, I should have heard the "la" but I didn't - and I put "le mi-août" because août is masculine. Is it, then, the case that if you use the prefix "mi-" the whole thing ( "mi-qqch") invariably becomes feminine?

Du instead of De

The question, "We come from Texas=Nous venons du Texas. How do I know which counties or regions or states are masculine. For example: We come from 'Alabama'. Is this masculine or feminine?

Merci!

Encourager in context of "to support a team"

I think you should also allow "j'encourage" for "I support" ? (For sentence: je soutiens le club de ma ville).
