I do not really understand why we use "ma" instead of "la" with "peau" here. The lesson on this point speaks of using possessive adjectives when the body part is the subject of the verb or for emphasis. Does "je sens le soleil sur ma peau" suggest a particular emphasis on "peau"? That would not be at all apparent to me. Thank you.

How come the above is wrong according to my latest kwiziq test? (A qui and auquel are the correct answers). 

In the example with Merci de votre appel, is de votre a kind of shorthand or contraction of d’avoir appelé? 

Why isn't it "Les parents n'avaient pas cessé de râler et de se disputer"?

Hello,

I had this kwiziq question: Catherine ________ à l'hôtel ce soir. (Catherine is sleeping at the hotel tonight.)

I put the answer for the blank as "est en train de dort", but instead the answer is only "dort". I thought that "dort" would = he/she sleeps (not he/she is sleeping)

I thought that dormir = (to) sleep; être en train de dormir = sleeping.

Thanks for the help!

I don’t get the nuance of ‘J’arrive dans 10 minutes’.  'I arrive in 10 minutes' is the same, to me, as saying ‘I will arrive in 10 minutes.   

Ne serait-il pas plus intéressant de se concentrer chaque semaine sur une région ou une ville française ? Cela inviterait également les apprenants à tirer le meilleur parti de leur expérience de voyage en France.
