two questionswhy "la Saint-Patrick" and not "le jour de Saint-Patrick?" Saint Patrick is masculine as is "jour" however in the answer it is feminine. And could "feter" be used instead of "celebrer" Thank you Christine Clegg

Why do you not add an s to retourné when you say - vous y êtes retourné?I thought that when you use être the pp always agrees with the subject.

confusion over s'attendre à ce que

I am currently reading a book, "Comment avoir une orthographe qui mène au succès", written by Pr Robert Tocquet. He claims s'attendre à ce que is not correct, rather it is a barbarism. Here is what he wrote: S'attendre, consentir à ce que. (S'attendre, consentir que.)
Il y a quatre verbes qui se construisent avec que (et non à ce que) : aimer, s’attendre, consentir et demander.

You can download for free a copy of this great book here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4bdN-sQj8mOU1ZSYXB0aGVSVDQ/edit

However, any comments from the Kwiziq community about this.

Is there a special term for "airline food" that captures the reality of how terrible it is?! In U.S. we make jokes about it.

Hi, are there any rules to remember professions based on genders. Or is it just something we need to memorize. It becomes a bit complicated since some of them have on form only.
