why is 'du' used for Alana est descendu du train juste a temps?the instructions prior says 'de' becomes 'du' when followed by le or les - neither of which occurs in this example. is it because train is masculine? and the du train replaces 'de le train'? It's a bit unclear given de l' is used in the example with masculine noun l'avion - 'Aurelie descend de l'avion'. thank you

Are there quizzes or lessons specifically designed to expand one's vocabulary?Let me begin by saying that I'm thrilled with Kwiziq so far—my French grammar is improving at a remarkable rate. However, I was wondering whether there were any quizzes or lessons designed with the sole purpose of expanding ones vocabulary around specific subject areas (as oppose to quizzes improving one's understanding of grammatical constructions). Improving my grammar is my top priority, nevertheless it would sometime be nice to dip into, say, business or scientific terminology and then be tested accordingly.

On its own?"You can also use pas du tout on its own, in non-verbal sentences:"

passed tenseA recurring difficulty with the writing challenges is choosing between passé composé and l'imparfait (I wish there were more hints in the answers) B1 "week 49" "St Patrick's day" opens with "Last weekend, we were in Chicago to celebrate St Patrick's Day." 'nous étions' is the suggested answer. Why not 'nous avons été' ?
