There is not recording for any of this exercise.

Can you say that hamburger was “grand” instead of “gros ? What is the difference between these 2 adjectives?

Auparavant, Paul et Cecile connaissent la raison de l'utilisation du subjonctif.  J'ai cherché la bibliothèque de Kwiziq en ce qui concerne le mot meilleur et le subjonctif mais je n'ai rien trouvé.  Est-ce que vous pouvez en élaborer ? 

Hello-

 For this question: Nadia ________ un bébé. The two choices are attend or s'attende. I went with attend, since the lessons says that attendre (non-pronomial) is always used for expecting a baby, but I was marked wrong.

Questions about this topic, using the lesson examples:

Il a mangé de magnifiques gâteaux

He ate some magnificent cakes.

J'achète de beaux draps

I buy nice sheets.

Note that when the adjective is placed BEFORE a plural noun, the partitive article des (some) becomes de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h). 

ATTENTION:
This rule doesn't apply when des is the contraction of "de + les" (= of/from/to the) :

J'ai acheté de nouvelles bottes

I bought [some] new boots.

My question is:  how is the 3rd example actually different from the previous two? How do we know that it would have be “de + les” and that they would not? Why wouldn’t they also have that option?

Merci  à l’avance!

Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?

When I wrote "à vélo" I received a correction that I should have written "en vélo." However, I was under the impression that both "en vélo" or "à vélo" are acceptable (see: À/en + [means of transportation] (French Prepositions)). Was this an error or is there a reason that "à vélo" is not acceptable here?

Pourquoi est-ce qu'il ny a pas un "s" au fin de "Kit-Kat" dans la phrase "Alors, deux McFlurry Kit-Kat...."?

What is the rule for the order of compound stressed pronouns? I read the Q&A but couldn't find an answer; I have seen lists for the proper order of all the other pronouns, but I have found no list for the order of compound stressed pronouns when they are used as subjects.
