How is the question "What does ''noyau'' mean?" relevant to the lesson? And where is the answer to be found in the lesson? It was one of the questions in the micro-quiz.

Certains d'entre eux voulaient au cinéma.Bien que j'étudie le français pendant plus que deux ans, j'ai toujours un problème avec l'imparfait et le passé composé.
