In one of the examples 'this land' is referred to as 'cette contrée' rather than 'ce pays'

Le chevalier fut amené devant le roi de cette contrée par les gardes

Could you please explain this usage to me? Thank you

The rsults are telling me i scored 0 out of 60 when i was only corrected on maybe 4 of my answers.

I wish someone rewrites this article clearly listing all verb forms of plaire as well as using direct object verb forms

You should not be grading us on punctuations. This is ridiculous.

Is there a lesson or could you please explain the difference between enfin, à la fin, au final, finalement, etc? Thanks.

Hi, I saw a dialogue in tv series Better Call Saul. It was "I am not telling you anything until we talk about my dad " and French translation is "Je ne te dirai rien tant qu'on n'aura pas parlé de mon père.. What I want to ask is why "parlé" is used instead of "parler", why passé composé form is used in this sentence after future tense of avoir.

Thank you.

The lesson said that y replaces [à+ thing], and that an indirect pronoun replaces  [à + person]. 

The question was "Il pense à sa famille. Elle....pense aussi."  'Famille' is people, so why is the answer given as 'y' and not 'leur'?

I want a lesson in using the above topics. How do I find the lesson for a specific problem AND... can I make a lesson if there isn't one already?

Thanx timothy

I was struggling to remember/understand this rule of pronoun and indirect and direct order and how it changes depending upon me/te etc or lui/leur etc and came across 'the selfish rule' in a grammar book which helped. 

Me first, object second, other people third, then Y and En.

 I guess it's another way of remembering the rule as given here, "The order is ALWAYS:

me/te/nous/vous   (before)  le/la/les/l' (before) lui/leur."
