I think in this context the dad was getting annoyed of the kids fighting each other. Therefore "j'en ai marre" can be appropriate.
I'm not sure this is directly relevant to this topic but I can't think of a better place to ask the question!
The answer to a question relating to this lesson is "Je vais me faufiler sans qu'il s'en aperçoive." What is the function of "en" in the sentence (and the rule pertaining to its use)? I assume it intends to refer back to the previously mentioned sneaking, but I can't figure out the rule. I know that "en" can be used to refer to previously mentioned phrases starting with "de", but that doesn't seem to fit here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I'm wondering why we would say 'on a dégusté des spécialités lyonnaises' rather than 'on dégustait des spécialités lyonnaises'. I thought that we would use the imperfect in this case as it happened over an extended period of time?
In on of the A2 the lesson there is a spelling ... touts... an incorrect answer, but bad spellers like me are likely to remember this. Please could yo not use incorrect spellings, its really confusing.
Thanks
Can you use en plus de instead of ainsi que?
Does it make any sense to ask why "Hanoucca" doesn't use a definite article in order to ease the pronunciation? Is it because the "H" is an "H aspiré"?
Since the word "all" appears in English in the phrase "all three together", why can't a possible translation be "tous les trois ensemble"? I've commonly seen tous les deux used in French to mean both of them.
Thanks!

Is there a list of all of the adjectives that go before the noun? I feel like there is a list somewhere that I am missing.
I am puzzled by "tout oppose le" in the following announcement.
À l’occasion des élections européennes, le 26 mai, deux philosophes sont têtes de liste. De l’accueil des réfugiés à la gestation pour autrui (GPA), tout oppose le Français François-Xavier Bellamy et le Belge Laurent de Sutter qui se lancent en politique sans rien renier de leurs convictions métaphysiques.
The first sentence is clear. The second sentence mentions (1) the questions of the refugees and surrogacy, and (2) Bellamy and de Sutter who are entering politics, etc. But I do not understand how "tout oppose le" links (1) and (2). Does it mean Bellamy and de Sutter are opposed to (1)? If so, what is the "le" doing there? I can't work out the meaning here. Any help would be much appreciated.
