Use of 'auxquelles'

salut forum et les experts

Je ne comprends pas l'utilisation de 'auxquelles' dans la phrase suivante 'Cette terre fertile produit de nombreuses gourmandises: olives, lavande, vignes, truffes, abricots, auxquelles il est très difficile de résister'

Pour quoi je ne pourrais pas également dire 'Cette terre fertile produit de nombreuses gourmandises: olives, lavande, vignes, truffes, abricots, qui sont très difficile de résister' ?

Passé Composé or Plus-que-parfait“I snuck into the woods behind our house.” Is translated as: “je m'étais faufilé dans la forêt derrière la maison”. But shouldn’t this be Passé Composé (j’ai faufilé) instead of Plus-que-parfait.

What adjective should be used to describe brown eyes

In a recent test I was asked to complete the following; Yves a les yeux…….( Yves has brown eyes). I wrote Yves a les yeux bruns which was deemed incorrect; why? My Harraps French English Dictionary assures me that either brun or marron can be used in this context.

Toutes before verbs beginning with vowels

Bonjour,

In the lesson you give the following example:

Mes amis sont venus et tous étaient contents.

But if we change the gender, are these three examples correct?

Mes amies sont venues et toutes étaient contentes. (all of them were happy)

Mes amies sont venues et elles étaient toutes contentes. (they were all happy)

Mes amies sont venues et elles étaient tout contentes. (they were very happy)

Thanks for all your work on this subject. This lesson is long but it's the most comprehensive explanation I've found.

John
