Depuis 1945, le système de sécurité sociale est financé par les entreprises et tous ________ qui travaillent en France.Since 1945, the social security system has been funded by businesses and all those who work in France.
I'm confused.. why is ceux the correct answer? Does 'ceux' refer to "all those who work in France" or something else?
It says to use MIEUX for a general statement with être about something or someone being fine/OK/better/the best.
Can we say.... "C'est la mieux idée." ? [This/It is the best idea.]
Why/Why not?
Qu'est-ce qu'une galatte
Under “nous avons pu réinvestir les dons qui nous étaient parvenus”, the “voix passive” lesson is listed beneath it, and not the “plus que parfait” lesson.
But isn’t it that case that this line is an example of plus que parfait, and not of voix passive?
This may seem like splitting hairs, but I find the listed lessons very useful even just from their titles, to guide my understanding of the grammar.
Just to ask why it is "de conseils" , not "des conseils" ?
Is it because it is a continuation of "plein de" ?
I believe plein de is invariable, i.e. would never use des.
e.g. "plein de trucs" , "plein de choses"
Thanks

In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel, referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility. Why not?
During the first sentence below, I find it super hard to pick up the 'eu' after déjà - is it actually there?!
- As-tu déjà eu l'occasion de séjourner à l'Hôtel du Palais à Biarritz ?
Where is the “Jargon Busters” referred to in the top of the lesson?
Not sure why - it does not seem a particularly unusual word to use in this context ?
It is interesting just how many words French has for 'annoying'!
