Quelques-un(e)(s)

I received this question in a quiz: "Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinent."

Isn't "quelques-unes" another correct way to say "some of them?"

unworn clothing

If I am talking about clothing that I own, but am not currently wearing, do I still use the definite article?

For example “La veste est sur le canapé” or “Ma veste est sur le canapé” ?

Partie une quinzième de jours

To "Je suis partie ________ jours."

I just did a quiz that says “Ils partent leur travail à 19h“ is wrong & “Ils quittent leur travail à 19h” is the correct answer. Can someone please explain why this is so? I can’t see why “partent” is wrong given what the lesson content says.

en ...add footnote?Would it be possibe to add a note addressing the use of “en” in this sentance? “Je voulais en savoir plus de cet artiste ensorcelant.” I understand why “en” replaces but not the underpinning of this structure where it is not referring to a previous subject and where the object is wtitten out. This part of the lesson on “en” is probablt covered in another lesson covering other aspects of the use of “en” but not here....

Can we talk about the word "pis" ?

I read it somewhere else that pis is also the comparative form of mal. Can we talk about the usage of pis vs mal ? Thanks.

Is it possible to reset the whole brainmap?

I haven't touched french in three years, and when I try to test the AO stuff again, It throws in C1 stuff I haven't seen since 2019, and it's a little humiliating to get all of the other stuff right, but still watch my scores plummet because I didn't remember how to conjugate the imparfait on my "Introducing yourself" Quiz.
