The selections to choose from read as follow....a offert, offrit, offrait and est offert... Where is the correct selection, which I believe is Nous avons offert???

What am I missing???"The day before, I had written him a letter." Now, of course I can translate this safely as "La veille, ...". However, why not as "Le jour précédant,..."? After all, it stands on its own, or doesn't it? -- Chris.

TranslationI'm reading "seul sur Mars" (originally in English). The protagonist is testing that his equipment can clean air properly: "D’accord, ce n’est pas un vrai test, car je ne suis pas à l’intérieur à consommer de l’oxygène et produire du CO2". If understand this lesson properly, a better translation would be "ce n'est pas un test vrai" ?

So just for clarification, "Quel garçon à jeté cette balle?" and "Qui à jeté cette balle?" both are valid correct? It's just that "quel" requires the noun, and qui doesn't.
