How can “I cycle to work” become “I am going to work” (near future) by bike. That would be if he is a courrier. Shouldn’t it be « je vais au travaille » ? And I thought that by bike would be à vélo.

How can I get this topic to stop popping up in quizzes and suggested lessons

I am unlikely to ever need to speak about provinces, nor do I care to know minor details such as how English counties in particular are treated. I am deeply dismayed by being forced to study this when there are so many more essential things I need to learn. How can I pause or snooze an unimportant topic in order to move onto things I need to learn?

verbs after a question with 'qui'

why is the verb after qui "vient" and "fait"? I don't get that, sorry.

And how would I know to use other verbs the same way?

French spelling reforms of 1990

The French are officially "encouraged" to use the "new spelling" of the reforms of 1990 (but the old forms are still allowed). The new spelling is now taught in schools for example and is included in style guides for various media groups. However your algorithm always seems to correct "plait" to the ancient spelling of "plaît", insisting on the unnecessary circumflex. I'm used to it now, as I have been corrected a number of times in various exercises like this one, but surely this must confuse some of your other subscribers? (In my opinion you should probably mark us correct for both options, but if only one is preferred then maybe it could be the new official spelling?)

P.S. Since writing this, I have found some conjugation guides give : Je plais, tu plais, il plaît, nous plaisons, vous plaisez and ils plaisent. With the circumflex included only in the 3rd person singular (which is the only case where it is followed by a "t"), but I have been unable to find a reason for this, or even whether it is correct?

Very impressed.

I am very impressed with the way the text is displayed and clickable for translation and further related grammar. Very slick indeed.
