I wrote "a qui" but "a laquelle" was marked correct...Why is "a qui" nearly correct and not correct when your examples show that both are correct?

Vous avez rendu visite à Paula

I do not understand this one. Rendre means "to return"? so this means "You returned to visit Paula" but it states "You visited Paula".

thanks for a clarification,

Rose

Here's a sentence from the lesson - J'attendrai jusqu'à ce qu'il ait terminé. I'll wait until after he's finished. Why has 'after' been added.

A descendu question.

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!

Why is friandises plural?

In the vocabulaire d'Halloween, https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/learn/theme/1201689, Trick or treat is given as "Farce ou friandise" but in the dictée the term is "Farce ou friandises". Why is treat pluralised but trick is not?

Vocabulary quizes

It would be good to be able to test yourself on vocabulary. One way would be to show French and English in separate columns to allow one column to be hidden. However, I think you can come up with even better ways to quiz and also track vocabulary proficiency in the same way as you track grammar.

Can "these" ever be translated as "ce" as opposed to "ces" in French?What is the proper way to translate: "These are good family times" in French? Google Translate and Duolingo have it as "ce sont de bons moments en famille" but isn't "these" supposed to be "ces"? Confused! Please help!

Avoir de la chance

Why in this example "ce qui n'est vraiment pas de chance" do we use être rather than the avoir we usually see with avoir de la chance?
