Puis, pour digérer leur délicieux repas...

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

Tu auras pris le train d'ici là : You will have taken the train by then.

By then : d'ici là.

Is that a colloquialism?

Dash vs. no dash

Hi, the options “assoyez-vous” & “asseyez-vous” have hyphens, but the two instances of “veuillez vous asseoir” do not have one between “veuillez” & “vous”. It looks like these are all “short reversed-form questions”, so is there a reason for this difference?

Hi - I am confused about how to tell is means the story or history (the academic subject).

The french was:

Il déteste l’histoire mais il adore les maths

The choice of answers were:

He hates the story but he loves maths

He hates history but he loves maths

I chose story, but I don't understand how to know which is correct.

Thanks

The same problem, I think, as with La Sorbonne issue belowWhy is "Qu'est-ce que c'est une baguette" marked as being wrong for "What is a baguette?" when the notes say that "Qu'est-ce que c'est un stylo" is correct for "What is a pen?"

What can we use when talking about the future?

For example, « We will arrive on tuesday, and we’ll leave the following day »

I know we can use « le jour prochain » and « le jour dernier », but is  « le jour suivant/précédent » or « le lendemain/ la veille » also allowed?

a question within a question

"J'ai fait mal à Olive hier quand je lui ai marché sur le pied."  While I'm slowly getting the hang of faire mal à versus faire du mal...why is LUI in the example above?

"C'est bon signe" and other expressions which do not use an indefinite article

Is there any general rule about how to identify which French expressions do not use an indefinite article where English would use one. In other words, why not "c'est un bon signe" ?
