What is ready in French
The adverbial pronoun lesson says y can replace a group introduced by the preposition à + [thing(s)/object(s)/location(s)]. In this exercise the preceeding sentence has "J'ai donné tout ce qu'il me restait à mes collègues..." But the following " j'ai substitué " I believe is referring to "tout ce qu'il me restait" not to "mes collègues". Why not " je l'ai substitué" ?
In one question, referring to the fur of l'hermine, brune was marked wrong with marron being correct. Quoting from the lesson on colors: brun will mostly be used to describe hair, skin (as in tanned skin), or fur.
The English sentence for this sentence starts : "The next step is to fill in your calendar". The "in" implies writing and isn’t needed: you fill in a form or blank spaces on a wall calendar, but if adding things to an Advent calendar, you just fill it or fill it up. Apologies for nitpicking!
