Demonstrative pronouns, L’Imparfait et PrépositionsBonjour Madame Cécile !
Apologies for posting another query, but of late, I have been testing on a few grammatical concepts at Kwiziq—
1. Ces fleurs sont jolies mais ______ sont les plus chères. (ce/ celles/celles-là)
Here, I opted for “ce” because of the expression “ce sont” however “celles-là” is correct. Why, Madame ?
2. Quand elles travaillaient pour IBM, elles (se marier déjà).
I had conjugated in the “L’Imparfait” as ‘se mariaient déjà’ in the sense of “were married”.
But, the answer was in Le Plus-que-Parfait. Why has Past perfect been used ?
3. Le bateau est _______ lac. (au milieu du/au bord du) Can’t “au bord de” be used with a lake or is it specifically for “au bord de la mer.”
Merci Madame Cécile !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
The "and" is superfluous to the meaning. In my experience, I have only heard it from people (some of them my relatives, malheureusement!) who have not graduated from high school, or who are deliberately trying to sound uneducated. Moreover, they usually slur the "and" so that it sounds like "... go 'n' visit ... "We'll go visit the Eiffel Tower when we're in Paris" sounds just fine to my ear, much better without the "and".

Beautiful island. Great listening opportunity. But the music is so loud, I'm having trouble hearing the narrator. Dommage.
Why was this marked incorrect for "I am five minutes late" ? According to the lecture, can use either "Je suis en retard" (de 5 minutes) or "J'ai (5 minutes) de retard"
