I got a quiz question from the "a besoin de" lesson:

Cette année, Michaël ________ perdre du poids.

I was using "doit" here, but the correct was "a besoin de"

I couldn't find a full explanation why the second one is correct but the first one not.

Does the meaning change in this case (I could imagine that doit would be closer linked to a real need, e.g from a medical perspective, while besoin would be more linked to his wish to lose weight, but no idea if that's the case).

Why is "dont" incorrect here? 

Hi, 

I was wondering when you use the adverbs absolument and totalement do they use the rule #5 in the lesson for adjectives with adverbs?

Thanks

Nicole

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi parfois quand je donne une réponse, le Quizbot dit que ma réponse n'est pas correcte mais dans le "pourrais aussi dire" il me donne exactement la même réponse que je l'ai écrite ?

'If you dont like sweet potatoe, there are other vegetables".  Surely these "other vegitables'' are a specific number of vegitables available for eating at that meal.  Not the whole vegetable kingdom.   So why not "des autres"?

Why in "tu" form the conjugation changes "Regarde-lui", but not "Regardes-lui"?

Whereas in "nous" the ending is the same "Arretons-lui"

What to do if there is only a noun and not a pronoun.

In the 5th sentence of the full text to read and listen to, the audio says "Mon fils David, lui va être un loup garou", but the text shows "Mon fils David va être un loup garou".
