(Edited) To include or omit certain partitive articles and prepositionsRegarding this exercise: (https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/1966 "A French Lunch Menu")
My answers "saumon avec riz et brocoli", and "poulet avec frites et petits pois" were marked as correct, when the final text gave "saumon avec DU riz et DES brocolis" and "poulet avec DES frites et DES petits pois", as the translations, respectively. My question is, on a french menu, is it more common to keep the second/third/fourth, etc. partitive articles in a dish name, or to drop them?
(Part of my confusion was that my responses were marked as correct, (with no alternate answers given), however the translation given at the end of the exercise differed from my own, as noted above).
Thanks in advance!
In the question Aurélie mange ___________ , with the translation Aurélie eats bread, the answer Aurélie mange le pain is marked as wrong in favour of Aurélie mange du pain. But surely Aurélie mange du pain means Aurélie is eating some bread, and Aurélie eats bread means that she eats bread in general, so should therefore be translated as Aurélie mange le pain.
pourquoi on utilise 'règnent' ici, pas 'règne' ?
When do you use leur and lui like which is it used for?
Is the pronunciation of vont a bit odd in this phrase ?

"Faisant le mur" ... une métaphore intéressante!
not sure why it is not imaginée since it is a lady talking. (reflexive verb, compound tense)
Si on consulte le site web de l'Académie Française, on voit que aout est aussi correct --> https://www.dictionnaire-academie.fr/article/A9A2062
Is it true that you use the présent de l'indicatif when you want to express a historical fact in French?
I have been corrected, (- but not marked wrong), for using a comma between two halves of soit ... soit ... , and there seems to be no consistency between when to do so, and when not too. HELP !!!
