Can one also say ' je m'en servirai d'une'?
It wasn't offered as an option.
Thanks
Is "au courant" invariable, or does it agree with the gender and number of the person?
Above is the referenced quiz question, to which I answered 'you cannot say'. However, the results indicate correct answer is 'a woman'. This is incorrect. Since "ami" start with a voul, you must use "son" whether the subject is masculine or feminine, therefor, you cannot tell is Sylvie's friend is a man or a woman.
What is meant by ..."qui a su conquérir les petits comme les grands" ?
In “et je ne connais pas bien la ville.” it sounds like “bien a ville”. There is no hint of an “l” sound. At least to my ears. This might also be what Jean meant.
Following on from Frank's question, in the passage:
"...j'ai noté toutes ces bonnes idées",
how does one know if it's those (ces) or your (ses) good ideas ?
Could you please explain why the future tense of être (to be) is incorrect when translating 'there'll be'.
Dan la négation, par exemple: je n’aime pas d’escargots. De is under 0 number, why escargots is using plural? Affirmative answer: j’aime des escargots have quantities therefore is understandable to use pluriel.

La France est dotée d'un territoire aux climats et aux reliefs variés grâce ___ sa production agricole est très diversifiée = France has a territory with varied climates and landscapes thanks to which its agricultural production is very diversified.
The clue was in the hint = 'which' refers to 'le territoire".
Is it possible to use "grâce à quoi" without this clue ? I didn't pay attention to the clue below the sentence and my 1st thought (and the answer as well) was "grâce à quoi". I wonder if it also makes a sense here ?
