The turkey was so burnt that he had had to get another one. Isnt the part after the that subjonctif?
I thought when être was followed by a noun or pronoun the subject would be c’est, like c’est mon fils or c’est la mienne. Isn’t celui also a pronoun? Is it because il is also the subject of the verb manger?
In the quiz, I translated "He took my hand" as "Il a pris la main", but was marked wrong. The correct answer is "Il a pris ma main" but I thought we can write la main for my hand
1) Ce sont tous mes meubles =These are all of my furniture or All these are my furniture? 'Tous' is pronouns or adjective in this sentence?
2) Can 'All these are my furniture' be translated as 'Tous ceux sont mes meunibles'? Is 'tous' an adjective in this sentence?
3) Can 'all of you' be translated as 'vous tous', eg: 'Vous tous pouvez manger les pommes'? Is tous a pronouns in this sentence?
Thanks!!
I didn't know what else to title my question/issue around this particular subject, but it seems that there's a lack of consistency even here on Kwiziq concerning this subject, evident because of the questions & answers here. There's a "fill-in-the-blanks" exercice that I just revisited titled "Voyage autour du monde" (https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/overview/1544705) that has two answers which contradict the lesson and feedback.
"Je visiterais d'abord la Californie, puis j'irais en Arizona." According to the lesson, and feedback the correct responses should be "Je visiterais d'abord en Californie, puis j'irais dans l'Arizona."
Ergo: Confusion Leads to Confusion.

Bonjour les gars et experts
Dans la frase suivant? 'ils se sont dit que', pourquoi il n y a pas d'agreement entre 'être' et 'dire'?
Je pense que 'ils se sont' est plural, donc 'dit' devrait s'écrire 'dits' avec un s, n'est pas?
I understand the use of the conditional but why is it not acceptable to have "arriverait" instead of "serait"?
The lesson appears to focus on making a distinction between use of trouver (to find something) and trouver que (to think something). Yet in the examples the previously mentioned translation (post about a year ago) of the above remains 'he finds' not 'he thinks' and in a dashboard test today "Ils me trouvent charmant"and "Ils me trouvent que ...." were both given as being "they find me charming". Either there is a clear distinction between the 2 forms or there is not. At present the lesson quite clearly makes the case there is but the discordant examples and test answers are confusing. Edit required.
