s'intéresser

I am searching for the use of s'intéresser à ...versus interesser quelqu'un. Could you please provide some examples and explain how these two forms should be applied. Thanks heaps.

Not a single friend"if I wanted to say he has no friends I would write il n'a aucun ami. In english he has no friends is a little different form He hasn't a single friend, that is why I did not use aucun. how in french can one stress not a single friend because their is a difference in english"

Don't suppose you could add the type of place in the questions?I would find it a lot easier on the tests if you would indicate if something is a city, state or region for example. Being from Canada the North American references are easy but the European not so much. Example Catalonia - had no idea it was a region until I googled it.

Frustrating - not able to progress due to too long a period between being able to take further quizes.

How can I work towards a Silver Star on a specific area when the Kwizbot will not allow me to take any further quizzes for what looks like more than 8 days since the last quiz taken ?

It looks like when I take a few quizzes I am then hamstrung against making further progress for far too long a period of time.
