Title It seems that the title of this lesson is incorrect, I believe it should read: "Adjectives ending in -s or -x change in the plural forms only when feminine" : )

Use of 'auquel' / à qui instead of 'que'

In the lesson ‘Que = Whom, which, that (relative pronouns)’ an example sentence is given as:

‘La femme que je dessine’

An example sentence from this lesson is: ‘Le chat, auquel tu as fait peur’ OR ‘Le chat, à qui tu as fait peur’

I’m struggling to understand why is ‘Le chat, que tu as fait peur’ is not used?

Thanks

HelloHello, In the lesson, it says that with vivre ot être we are to use dans or nothing. Does that mean we cannot use en. I am confused because there is an example that says "Je suis en class."

Needing to show possession of body partAre these both correct for saying, I wish my hair was thick: "Je me souhaite que les cheveux soient épais" or, " Je souhaite que mes cheveux soient epais?" Can you make basically any verb pronomial by adding reflexis pronouns and then know who's "body part" you're talking about? Thank you!

Brain Map for Premium UsersBrain Map is not responsive to gestures in revealing more information (other than color codes) when used on an iPad with most current iOS with Safari as the browser. Thank you in advance as the feature is quite extraordinary if it will provide detailed analysis as the tutorial demonstrates. PS Are there plans to release kwiziq as an app (currently available only in a browser) and a "native speaker" segment as used in some other language apps?

Approximate numbers - 70, 80, and 90Hi, in your lesson "How to make approximate numbers such as une dizaine (ten or so)" you explain how to form the approximate numbers dizaine (10), vintgaine (20), trentaine (30), quarantaine (40), cinquantaine (50), soixantaine (60) and centaine (100). You did not mention 70, 80, nor 90. Do these not exist? Or are my guesses "soixante-dizaine" (70), "quatre-vingtaines" (80) and "quatre-vingt-dizaine" (90) in the right direction?

Hi, I love the website. I too am wondering why 'we brushed our hair' is 'Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux' rather than with an 's' added to brossé

In the sentence " J' utilise ces tomates. Ce cont les dernières". Why can't we say "elles sont les dernières" since we talk about specific tomatoes?
