The quiz response was, "vous avez", but every other translation engine I have used says that "vous êtes" is correct.  That would seem correct as the verb has no direct object (I don't think "the stairs" is a direct object).

Can you explain?

In the example above 'Oh là là. Il aime vraiment parler de lui !' why is there no même after lui?  Also the 'Je n'aime que moi ?' why no même ?

Why is j’ai de la farine correct when je n’ai plus de farine is also correct? Ie why is de la farine correct in the first sentence (per my last quiz?)

Hi, I had written a question on the linked lesson but I think perhaps this is a better space. I believe I had written "à un hôpital" and this was marked incorrect in favour of "dans un hôpital."

Is this because the focus of the sentence is the work experience which takes place inside the hospital? Or what is the reason why dans can be used but not à?

Merci! 

I don't understand the usage of a été and était in some cases.

For example, in this exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/1414
one of the sentences is "Ce matin j'ai été assez paresseuse". Why is "j'ai été" used here instead of "j'étais"? Doesn't "ce matin" automatically imply duration (as in she was being lazy the whole morning or during some part of the morning)?

But in this exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/1414
one of the sentences is "Maman était très heureuse". Why is it "était" instead of "a été"?

Is there any particular reason why "des poissons sur du papier" is correct, but not "du poisson sur des papiers" Thanks!

Which is NOT correct?

Ce qu'il dit est difficile à comprendre

Ce que nous faisons est presque impossible

Ce qui est arrivé est incroyable

Ce qui elle demande n'est pas raisonnable -- Correct Answer

I don't understand why this is incorrect.
