Il fait bon aujourd'hui

How is Il fait bon aujourd'hui "It is warm" as your test implies? Should it not be "Il fait chaud"? I would think the translation should have been correct as "It is nice" today for Il fait bon aujourd'hui.

Don't these two sentences mean the same thing?"Nous avons DAVANTAGE d'enfants que lui" and "Nous avons PLUS D'enfants que lui" I put 'davantage' and it was marked wrong.

Vous avez pu recontrer Sting?You give two translations: "You were able to meet Sting." "You could meet Sting." Shouldn't the second one read, "You could have met Sting."? I believe "You could meet Sting" is in the present conditional tense. Unless I have my tenses all mixed up ...

Je fumais depuis des années quand j’ai décidé d’arrêterThe English translation that you give is not normally what one would say. We would say “I had been smoking...” not “I was smoking...”...the plus perfect not the imperfect. In French would one ever use the plus que parfait as we do in English?

Pronom en ou la? I have a question.

Remplacez avec un pronom convenable.

Elle place une statue de bronze à l'entrée de la maison.

Les mots soulignés sont "Une statue de bronze".

1) Elle en place une à l'entrée de la maison

2) Elle la place à l'entrée de la maison.

Past perfect: sequential eventsHi, I have a question about he following sentence in the lesson: "Après qu'elle lui avait avoué ce qu'elle ressentait, elle avait rougi." Seems logical to me that she would have blushed AFTER she confessed her feelings, hence "elle a rougi" makes more sense, no? Would appreciate your thoughts, thanks in advance!

neither the oysters nor the fishIn the lesson it says to omit the article unless talking abot general things in which case you would keep the article. ok. But then the discussion below suggests that the article is kept for specific item ie these specific oysters and not oysters in general. I am confused please clarify further.thank you
