why is it 'elle faisait son jogging' and not 'elle faisait DU jogging' ? 

Here it is 

‚c‘est M.Dupont qui était responsable…‘

Is this an expression that always uses the present tense followed by the imperfect? Could you use imperfect and imperfect in this example ……c‘était M. Dupont qui était…..

Thank you 

on every site I've looked at, it says its 'dire à' and not 'dire de' to 'tell sb to do st' ? is this an error ?

Why would it be "C'était un bâtard" not "Il était un bâtard?" The statement is specific. I asked my partner, who is a native French speaker, and he said both sounded correct/normal to him. He couldn't figure out why the latter is unacceptable, even viewing the rules provided. 

Is “ Tu as visitée Paris” grammatically correct?

The sentence :

Je suis aussi allé acheter une nouvelle bibliothèque que j’ai passé plus de deux heures à monter.

The hint given was ‘la bibliothèque’.

I took this to mean that passé should agree with bibliothèque and wrote passée.

I was using the rule for the ‘case of subordinate clauses with que’. Why am I wrong here?

In the first sentence of the full text at the end of the lesson, the last phrase text reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says ..."alors, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !" 

During the exercise, the text for this phrase also reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says"...donc, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !"

Since "comme" is the qualifier in the preceding phrase, the use of either "alors" or "donc" doesn't seem to make sense.

How come there's no "la" in front of Guadeloupe?

There's even a suggested lesson for this translation exercise that says that country names are preceded by the definite article? Using le, la, l', les with continents, countries & regions names (definite articles)%252Fsearch%253Fs%253Darticle%252Bcountry

Pourquoi "tu es" est-il la bonne réponse ici ?
