Dans la phrase "...donc je suis resté à la maison...", j'ai choisi "chez moi " au lieu de "à la maison". Pourquoi est-ce que "chez moi" n'est pas correct ?
This question relates to the use of avoir vs prendre in one of the test questions for the subjonctif linked to this forum.
Question: "Ils n'auront pas de dessert à moins qu'ils ne fassent leurs lits".
I thought when talking about having a meal or a drink etc. the verb "prendre" was used - not avoir?
As I understand the lesson, faire du/de la is used for habitual activities and joue à is used for ongoing or current activities. Is this wrong?
If not, how come "Elle joue à la natation." is wrong for "She goes swimming"?
The lesson has "Tu fais de la natation" as an example where it means the person does this habitually/in a club or something. So wouldn't "Elle fait de la natation" mean "She swims", "She's in a swimming club" or something, i.e. that she swims habitually?
Is it fine to use these forms to ask "what are you making?" or is there a more appropriate way to ask/better verb to use?
