For the last phrase, que je vous ai préparée, why is the "e" added to préparée. Shouldn't it be an "s" because vous is the direct object.
I think I've finally gotten the "ce qui" vs "ce que" vs. "qui/e" down, but I'm utterly confused about when "quoi" is used. When I see "what is," I invariably think "quoi," but I'm usually wrong. The best rule I've determined is to use "quoi" with an infinitive, "je ne sais pas quoi faire," but is that really it for "quoi"? Thanks!
Est-ce que je peux utilizer “cuire” comme “Je cuis une jolie dinde”?
why not have a multiple choice after the reading exercise. that would make it much more useful and helpful in preparing for delf

This specially confused me since the exercise explicitly noted that "votre position" was the noun being referred back to. Merci!
Why is this sentence knocked into the subjunctive?
Selon une étude menée - why is it 'menée' and not 'a mené' ? I'm confused, is it to do with the passive voice? And also why can't I use 'd'après' to mean 'according to'?

Why have a kwiz where we are tested on conjugating "ralentir" if it turns out to actually be regular, given the information above? Are we supposed to understand that the examples above are the only irregular -tir verbs, or most of them? Because that is not particularly clear. What rough percentage of -tir verbs are irregular vs. regular?
My nearly correct answer was "à 2 heures de Chartes". Why was it not completely correct?
By the way, according to the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures), the official way to abbreviate "2 heures" is not "2h" but rather "2 h" with a space. See page 149 of
