In one quiz question it states :
Quand j'étais enfant, ________ au chœur du collège.
When I was a child, I used to belong to the high school choir.
(HINT: Use "appartenir" (to belong))
The correct English for collège is middle school. Lycée is high school.

when do you use dans for "in" instead of à
Hello, I have a technical question. Why aren’t these called possessive pronouns? Is the term interchangeable with possessive adjectives? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in school, but I don’t remember the term “possessive adjectives” at all. Thank you.
Could someone please explain when to use which of the above? Thanks
In the quiz there's a sentence that reads:
Christophe finissait son déjeuner quand les autres sont arrivés.
The English translation says
Christopher was finishing his breakfast when the others arrived.
The quiz says déjeuner not petit-déjeuner.
This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi." I don't uderstand the need for "elle." What purpose does it serve?
I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed. Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.
Why does she say le nom des plants, but not les noms as plural?
On the introductory page of the dictée "Rendez-vous pour le contrôle technique", the word is spelled 'defectueux'. But in the body of the exercise, in section four where it appears, it is spelled 'défecteux'.
