How is the question "What does ''noyau'' mean?" relevant to the lesson? And where is the answer to be found in the lesson? It was one of the questions in the micro-quiz.

How do you use « ne.. pas assez de » when talking about a specific thing?

for example,

« I didn’t eat enough of the cake » - meaning a specific cake, rather than general cake. In this case, is it allowed to say

« Je n’ai mangé pas assez du gateau »

question of proper tenseFor translating: When she wins the race, she'll be happy, I used aura gagné because it happens first. But the correct answer was Quand elle gagnera. I figured they were trying to trick me with the "When she wins". Wouldn't it be correct to use the future perfect?
