"Espérons qu'ils gagnent une autre médaille d'or". Is not the intent to wish for a future happening? So saying "Let's hope that they will win another gold medal" is correct? "Espérons qu'ils gagneront une autre médaille d'or". ??
celles qui vous enrichissent et vous font chaud au cœur.
Do we not repeat the qui
celles qui vous enrichissent et *qui* vous font chaud au cœur
In the translation of ” and I'm skint [US: broke] because of all the gifts that I must buy”, they use the expression ”à cause de” for because of. I was wondering if "en raison de" could be substituted for "à cause de". I tried it but it wasn't accepted. Is there a subtle difference that I don't understand?
The question:
Jeudi, elle a un rendez-vous. Tu veux dire ce jeudi ou ________ ?
I filled in 'le prochain', but was marked as wrong. I get that Kwiziq is trying to teach this lesson in particular but doesn't this also work?

I’d be interested to get a feel for how often inversion is used in everyday speech and the register of the examples below, from further down the thread. Presumably the one with quand at the end is the least formal?
Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?
Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé ?
Juliette et Pauline, elles ont déménagé quand ?
Why can't we say "N'importe que se passe" to say "Whatever happens"
Why do we use j'ai toujours eu for "I have always had"? My understanding is the passe' compose' of avoir implies "I got" more than "I had". If we want to say "I had" we should use j'avais.
Merci
I've encountered this quiz: translate this sentence: "Marie worked for ten hours yesterday". The answer excludes this option: Marie a travaillé en dix heures hier.
Why can't I use the word "en"? It's mentioned here: En vs Dans with time (French Prepositions of Time)
"En expresses the length of time something takes to be done."
