I must admit I often find the 'short lessons' on here a little confusing because of the coloured lines. This one is particularly bad. I cannot see if the text with green lines is supposed to relate to the text with orange lines above it or below it. Essentially, why are the coloured lines there? They only confuse. Marking explanations with one colour and examples with another is pointless; we can see what is what. What we cannot see is what pertains to what. It would be fine if you gave some examples with red lines then an explanation also with a red line, so we know it refers to the 'red lined' examples. Then, further examples with a different colour together with an explanation with the same colour. This way we know what refers to what.

I read in the site somewhere that with body parts its always the definite article and not possessive adjective. But here its says ses joues and i think son coeur. 

referring to this sentence:

Et les au-revoirs qui n'en finissent jamais au téléphone.

How about "... jamais à l'appareil"?

I worked in a French-speaking environment where that phrase would often be used.

À propos de la dernière phrase, est-ce qu'il serait possible d'employer "leur entreprise" au lieu de "leur commerce"?

Hi, a couple of lines had missing audio. 

Hi Kwiziq

When trying to answer the waterpolo query, my study notes indicated most of the time “jouer à” was used for team sports; plus if a ball is used, also “jouer à”.

I therefore used jouer, and it was marked wrong and I was supposed to use “faire de”.  

Any comments on how you can help us to remember/learn this topic?  

Thank you in anticipation.

Why is it "était DE" here? Why is the "DE" used ?

Thank you
