"In the first half of the week" the acceptable translation is Dans (or durant or pendant) la première moitié though above it says "Durant".  However, "In the second half of the week", "Dans" and "moitié are both marked as incorrect with "moitié" is replaced by "partie".  Could you please explain the differences as I don't understand them.

Hi,

Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself  59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?

How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.

Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”

Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?

I was definitely listening to this exercise in French but the answers were shown in English with various options provided.  That's not how this usually works, unless I've been drinking too much eggnog...

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 ?

Just to confuse things some more, there are several possible alternative English translations in addition to the one given here:

Je fais le lit après que tu t'es levé.I'm making the bed after you've got [US: gotten] up.
The French can also be translated as:I'll make the bed after you get up.I'll make the bed after you've gotten up.I'll make the bed after you're up.

As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration?
