Je peux dire ( Ferme le robiner ! )?

Merci beaucoup

Ils vont visiter 'la tour Eiffel' ce matin.

Would it be replaced by a direct object or y

They will visit it = la or they will visit there = y

Ils vont la visiter or ils vont y visiter.

Est-ce que c'est possible d'écrire "Je n'ai fait rien", ç'est-a-dire, mettre le "rien" de la négation à la fin de la phrase ? Je crois avoir entendu qu'avec ce mot c'est possible mais Kwiziq ne me l'a pas permis.

I don’t understand why this translates in the present as well as in the historic past?

Not exactly related to the lesson but one of my quizzes had the sentence: “Je mangeais une nourriture très riche.”

I’m wondering why “une” was used here and not the partitive article “de la”, especially since it’s an unquantified amount of food? This was confusing to me.

When I click on the text "et installent projecteurs et caméras", the translation you provide is "and install projectors and videocameras". There are several ways to translate "projecteur" into English: it can also mean floodlight, spotlight and searchlight, besides the obvious translation "projector". 

They weren't entertaining Marshall Jodl by showing him movies. And even if they were, why would they need more than one projector?  Given the context, a much more likely translation of "projecteurs" is "floodlights". 

Not a question, but sounds like a great day I'd like to do merci beaucoup :)

Merci pour les nouveaux exercices d’écoute !

Sorry to add to an already long thread, but I have a feeling that when using "on" as informal "we" (rather than impersonal "one") I’ve seen "nous" used as the stress pronoun, not "soi". Is that right?
