Why is "délicieux" placed before the noun in  A great weekend and A Thanksgiving gift, "un délicieux repas" but after the noun in A romantic trip to Paris "des vins délicieux"

The answer to this question:' Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinen' is 'les unes'. I wrote 'certaines d'entre elles' which was marked wrong. Is it wrong because it's not what is being taught, or is it wrong because 'les autres' always follows ';les unes' and only 'les unes'? I find that hard to imagine.

Why is the above verb "commence"  in the present tense? I understand that after "Avant que" one uses the subjunctive, but shouldn't it be past subjunctive - therefore  " avant que je n'aie commencé à apprendre le français.

Thanks

I recently ran across a guideline which contradicts the quiz sentence "Il est venu pour voir Sarah" associated with this lesson!!

'Venir' is purportedly one of the verbs which does not take  ANY  preposition before the following infinitive  when the context is 'come 'to do 'action of the infinitive' ! So he came to do what.. to see Sarah!  So (according to that guideline ) the preposition 'pour' is at least superfluous here if not invalid! Please clarify.

Greetings!

Could you please help me understand the meaning of this phrase:

"le devoir de mémoire de la Shoah"

In addition, I'm wondering why "mémoire" does not require an article in this context.

Thank you!

It would have been helpful to those of us who have never read Harry Potter to have words which come from the book in the helpful hints section.

It’s « une génération », why is it « ce qui les » which is plural?

How would you say - ‘It suits you well’?

Il te va bien? or Ça te va bien?

Would the construction respect gender as well? 

Finally when would you use çela over ça?

Thank you

You'll take your cousin to the party is gives as 'Tu ameneras ta cousine a la fete'. In all the dictionaries I have consulted, Amener means 'to bring', Emmener means 'to take'. In English these are two quite distinct actions. 'To take' implies that the taker and the taken are both at Point A and are going to Point B. To bring implies that the person being brought is at Point A, and the person speaking is at Point B. Duolingo never got the hang of this. You' ll take your cousin to the party should be 'Tu emmeneras ta cousine a la fete'. Or are amener and emmener synonymous?

is the correct answer. What is wrong with 'Sont-elles cassees, mes lunettes?' C'est la meme chose, non?
