Rating and ranking criteria for leaderboardOn the leader-board for Day Streak, there is a full page of participants who have a 7-day streak of tests taken. There does not seem to be a pattern of how the names are listed since all have tested for 7 straight days. What are the criteria for how these participants are rated and ranked to appear on the leader-board in this category?

Why would I use a stress pronoun?I can see on the lesson about plural stress pronouns that this would be for simple sentences or one word responses. But are there other situations?

Chacune?

I  don't understand why "chacune annee" can't be used. Isn't "annee" feminine, which  means the modifying adjective should also  be feminine? A little confused.

Passé composé neverAre negative statements in the past, e.g. jamais,  mostly passe composé rather than imparfait. I can't décide if 'never' is an ongoing state (i never learnt to ski) or a terminated action (i never ate it) but as i write this i am thinking context dependant , but since i have already written it i will post it ; )

In the sentencenous avons ouvert les fenêtres de peur qu'il n'y ait un fuite de gas.In the sentence, which may not be exactly correct, but is more or les as i remeber it, the translatio is ....for frar that there would be a gas leak. Can this be translated as might be or even as there is a gas leak. Like many english people i am a bit hazy about the subjunctive in my own language, hence the question.
