Tenir meaning to run or manageTenir is sort of like "get" in English because it means so many different things in different contexts. Here the correct answer is "mon beau-frère tient le café," Wouldn't "gérer" or "diriger" or "mener" also be correct?

Je ne mange pas de poisson.

If le la les don't change with negation, should the above general statement have 'le poisson ' instead of 'de' ?

Just found the above link which answers the above query. To save time, a few sentences on this subject would enhance this lesson considerably.

"ma tête me fait mal" why not "la tête" since "me fait" already indicates it's your own head ?

en = it and en = themHi, I am confused about en meaninng both it and them. In some examples en is translated as it (Elle leur en a parlé She told them about it) and sometimes as them (Pierre m'en a offert Pierre offered me some of them.) Are it and them interchangeable in these sentences?

Thanks Chris. That's a little more confusing than I expected because it says in the lesson that aucun/aucune are always singular.I know this should be an answer to your question Chris but there is a bug in Kwiziq that sometimes doesn't all submitting new questions or answers.
