According to the rule analysis, using en for feminine countries and a for masculine countries, why is the correct answer for the question "la?" Je vais visiter la France cet ete. Should the sentence not be Je vais visiter en France?

translation of "lors du"Looking at the sentence: Lors du Congres organisé(...clause), un très large majorité des cent quatre vingt huite members se prononce pour l'etabissement d'une monarchie constitutionnelle. I would translate this as "whilst the congress organised, a very large majority decided on the establishment of... So would have anticipated "Lorsque le Congres..." or "Quand le Congrès..." Where as "Lors du..." seems to have the meaning "While the..." "During the..." ...so the definite article seems not needed... can anyone clarify the use of "Lors du..." here I wonder...? Best regards, Michael

How could you say "Gregory is going away for the holidays." ?

I understand that "Gregory part pour les vacances." works and seems to match the following less example most closely: "Nous irons en Guadeloupe pour les vacances."

However, I don't understand how durant and pendant also work with this example. Can someone kindly explain it as I don't see how it matches the examples in the lesson. Thanks in advance!

passécomp usage vs imparfait

For "Je les connaissais par coeur" the reason for the imparfait was a habitual activity, but I have trouble with seeing that as a habit. To me that is done and that's it. I used passé comp....can you help me understand what they mean by a habit in this case.

Hi, The question might not be completely relevant to this topic. While using direct and indirect object pronouns for them (les/leur) .We check whether a preposition is used to seperate the object to decide whether it's direct or indirect. But how do we know when to use a preposition (for eg- "a parle" (so we use leur), for "conduire" we don't use a preposition (so it becomes les)).

Puis, pour digérer leur délicieux repas...

Doesn't "leur" need to be "leurs," since it is modifying the plural noun "repas"?
