I don’t understand why it’s « Je vais __dans le______ Merseyside la semaine prochaine. »

Merseyside ends with an « e » so should be feminine and use « en. »

How can that marking - 0/75 - nbe correct when I get lots of the answers correct?

In the writing exercise "Recalling a Snowy Evening" you gave the sentence.  

"The next day, we ended up building the biggest snowman in the village" and gave a tip to use the plus-que-parfait.

I used the verb "se retrouver" for "end up" which I had learned in another writing exercise: 

Le lendemain, nous nous étions retrouvés à construire le plus grand bonhomme de neige du village.

The correct response was: Le lendemain, on avait fini par construire le plus grand bonhomme de neige du village. 

I thought "on avait fini par" meant "we had finished by" and "On s'était retrouvé" meant "We had ended up by"

Can you please clarify why the use of se retrouver was wrong?

Or if it was right, could you add it to the exercise as an alternative response?

Je vous remercie d'avance de votre réponse!

In the last sentence, starting with 'Barbara...', the hint was to use the 'informal you', so I put 'vous', and it was marked as wrong, that I should have put 'tu'.

Is there something I don't understand concerning the issue of formality?

Thanks, Andreas.

I follow the above lesson, but not so clear on when “ça “ is used. 

This is an awesome song but it really isnt french and really is Breton so i was wondering why it even is here

Which of the conjugations of s'asseoir is the most commonly used?

The lesson states that  "if [action of the sans que clause] is over before the action of the main clause, you'll use Le Subjonctif Passé."  So why does Tu as fait tout ça sans ________ au courant. need que Neve soit, which is in the Subjonctif Present, rather than que Neve l'ait été, which is in Subjonctif Passé? 

I've never understood this.  Thanks,

Rebecca
