"Quels/Quelles sont les danseuses engagées?"
I answered "Quels" as it was unclear if the dancers were male/female or both. I was marked incorrect. Was that because of an incorrect assumption on my part ( that all dancers are female) or was there another reason?

I know they differ in formality, but they have the same basic meaning of 'please'. Much confusion!
As a French major studying literature, it made sense to learn passé simple. But now, over 40 years later and speaking French as a tourist, I have no need for it. I’ve really enjoyed Lawless French until I got to level c and so many questions on passé simple! I’d rather learn helpful vocabulary and expressions/idioms than advanced verb conjugations. Love, the site, but not passé simple!
Just read all the other comments—glad I’m not the only one who’s not keen on passé simple.
Hello, can i use "regarder" instead of "voir" in this sentence: "On peut aller au cinéma pour voir un film"
To go, come, climb down something. I don’t understand why a descendu doesn’t work for Jack climbing down the giant. The lesson seems to allow for it. Very confusing but not a phrase I’m likely to be using!
Is "baies rouges" acceptable or only "fruits rouges"? And does "fruits rouges" mean a specific type of berry, or can it be e.g. redcurrants, cranberries etc?
