Some additional resources?I'm really struggling with bringing all the preposition rules together for cities, regions, states, countries. Just as I slowly think i am cracking it with à, de (to/from cities), au, du (to/from m countries) and en/de - I then hit the stumbling block with regions and states as on the lesson here I read it also applies to countries. I have searched for YouTube videos to explain but it seems hard to find one where someone goes over all the different variables. Can anyone suggest a good single point of reference?

Inscrit en contre

Can anyone help with the phrase 'inscrit en contre'. According to the local newspaper, our local rugby team won at the weekend:

'.....grâce à un essai inscrit en contre'

I have looked it up but cannot grasp the meaning of the phrase. Thanks

qui or ce qui ?

Please could someone explain to me what exactly is the difference between "ce qui" and "qui"?

I think ce qui is which/what and qui is which/what/who but how do you know which "which" to use?

Grateful for any responses.
