Question about agreement

In the sentence, "Je vais me laisser tenter par la deuxième option qui a l'air vraiment intéressante à faire.", the adjective, intéressante, is féminine. I would have thought that this adjective is modifying the word 'air', which is masculine, rather than obliqely referring to the feminine noun, 'option'. Could you explain?

A general question

Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations? Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.

Avant que

Should it not be 'avant qu'on ne parte'?

In this lesson, we are taught to use the present indicatif, but I am confused about the use of "en train de" as the continuous present?

An interesting picture indeed

Yes Paul. I agree with you. I never learned phrases like that in school. Would they be commonly used ie. Should I try to use them in conversation or would I get funny looks, haha?

The word Fertile

As English being my mother tongue, I believe the word fertile should be futile!

''Les livres auxquels je pense sont remarquables.'' (bonne réponse dans un quiz)

Salut a tous.

Ma question concerne l'utilisation du pronom "dont" ici. La phrase ci-dessus peut traduire comme soit "The books I think of are remarkable" soit "the books i'm thinking about are remarkable." étant donné que penser peut prendre la préposition 'de', cette dernière formulation permet l'utilisation de "dont", n'est-ce pas ? S'il vous plaît donnez votre avis. Merci en avance.

Vois ici: De qui/dont/duquel = of/about whom, of/about which - with prepositional verbs with "de" (French Relative Pronouns)

Je trouve ma dinde moins sèche que le tienne.

I answered "le votre". Would I say "le tienne" to a stranger, for example?
