We know that “on” has been explained to mean “one” (in general terms) just like in English, in which case in the sentence above it would mean “no one is allowed to park here, generally”. So I am confused by the fact that, the answer to the multiple choice questions did not include the above option as a valid answer :(
1) To copy (record) something onto a notebook : copier qch. dans un carnet ?
2) To copy (fraudulently) the exercise from a friend : copier l'exercice sur un ami ?
3) To copy some sentences from a book : copier des phrases sur un livre ?
I looked on Wiktionary and the expression ´a l’air livré means out in the open’. When I typed a l’air libre ‘ on the test, the correct answer was a la belle étoile
Il a gagné la course, ce qui est impressionnant.He won the race, which is amazing.
Ce qui in this suggests the word race is the subject. Why? I am really struggling with which is the subject or object in more complex sentences. Isn’t he the subject doing the winning ?Hi
Why is the test answer as follows: Je prends cette rue en dépit du panneau stop instead of en dépit de panneau stop? I couldn't see any explanations for this on the lesson, I could on see du used in the exception en dépit du bon sense.
Thanks

«C'était tellement amusant qu'il y est retourné plus tard.It was such fun that he went back later! Note that in each case where être is the auxilliary, the verb retourner is followed by a preposition (en, sur, dans, à etc.).
So, in these cases retourner is usually about going back somewhere, or returning somewhere.»
I think the explanation needs a little expansion - considering it is contradicted by the example immediately preceding it.
