Décéder & Devenir I was caught out as I hadn't learnt that Décéder & Devenir are etre verbs in passe compose: they are not in the "traditional" group (and not in the house photo on Wikipedia). Are there any other rogue verbs that use etre?

Indefinite articlesWhen the lesson states that en, as a pronoun, can replace a noun + a quantity, is this effectively saying that en can replace any noun introduced by an indefinite article? (and the indefinite article itself too of course!)

Why is only one "Take test" button greenI started kwiziq on level A1. Meanwhile I am working on kevel B2. All levels from A0 to B1 show a green dot on the left. My scores in each of the levels are above 80%. Yet only the "Take Test" button corresponding to level A1 is green. Can you explain what that signifies and the condition when either a button or a dot turns from grey to green? Thanks, -- Chris. P.S.: I would like to filter only my questions or, even better, be able to subscribe to certain threads on the q&a page. Otherwise I can't find my questions and any answers posted to them. Otherwise great page!

Meaning of 'le'I'm sure you've heard this a million times already, but if "il déteste le café" is "he hates coffee" then how does one say "he hates the coffee?"

''Qu'aiment-ils?'' I understand why this is a contraction of "Que aiment" and therefore means What do they like, but why can't it also be a contraction of "Qui aiment" and therefore Who do they love?
