Avoir un examenIn the lesson "Passer un exam vs to pass an exam" it says
"To say that you passed an exam, you would use "réussir (à) un exam/ obtenir un exam / avoir un exam"
and give the example:
"Et l'exam que tu as passé le mois dernier? - Hélas, je ne l'ai pas eu / je ne l'ai pas réussi!
What about the exam you took last month? - Unfortunately, I didn't pass. (it)"
but in the writing challenge "My cousin plays the accordion" I was marked wrong for answering
"but she passed it"
with
"mais elle l'a réussi"
where it wanted
"mais elle l'a eu".
Why was that? Aren't both equally valid?
Expecially since, in the context, it was just one exam ("un examen"), not the entire degree course.
In (Australian) English we would say "I passed (or succeeded in) my final exam" but "I got (or obtained) my xxx degree".
The question was: What can this mean? "Simon m'attend a la gare"?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following were given as correct:
1). Simon is waiting for me at the station. (I agree)
2). Simon is expecting me at the station. (I don't understand)
With the exception of "expecting a baby" I thought "expecting" was expressed via s'attendre (ie. reflexive)
Surely there would have to be a reflexive pronoun in the sentence for 2). to be true?
(1) J'aimerais aller dans le collège. (2) Je veux aller dans la jungle. (3) On va aller dans le bureau
"dans" in these 3 sentences mean "to". Can I conclude that 'dans' and "à" are interchangable when they mean "to"?
Is there a difference between cafétéria and cantine? Can you use "cantine" here?

Does the "ce" change the meaning from who(m) to what?
