Henri faisait une sieste quand son patron est entré.Puis-je également écrire Henri était en train de faire une sieste quand son patron est entré? Est-ce que c'est possible d'écrire cette phrase comme je l'ai fais? Peut-être ça veut-dire quelque chose d'autre. Je ne sais pas.

Use of dontIn French, does one think of somebody, or does one think to somebody. Surely " La personne dont je pense me rend heureux." is correct. The person of whom I think makes me happy. Yet the answer shown to be correct was, " La personne à laquelle je pense me rend heureux." The person to whom I think makes me happy." Please clarify this for me. Thank you.

ne explétifIsn't it also correct to use the ne explétif? "J'ai eu peur que nous ne soyons arrivés trop tard." I entered this and it was marked wrong. Thanks.
