Il s'en occupe tout de suite. And "en" can replace de + phraseIn the lesson we are told "en" cannot replace people.
In the test, the phrase "Il s'en occupe tout de suite." is given. The correct responses indicated are:
He takes care of it right away. (I understand this is correct since it doesn't not refer to people.)
and
He takes care of them right away. ( I thought the lesson explained "en" can't refer to people, therefore,
following the lesson, I would think this would be, "Il s'occupe d'eux tout de suite.)
The sentence, "He takes care of him right way." is indicated as incorrect (I would think this would be Il s'occupe de lui tout de suite.)

J'ai visité Versailles dimanche dernier.
Why is it not: le dimanche dernier?
Novel = un roman.
'Graphic' in English means very clear and powerful, vivid, explicit.
Therefore a graphic novel = un roman graphique or un roman illustré.
une BD = a comic strip.
I understand that une soirée indicates the duration of the evening, while un soir indicates the general time of day, but given this is a Level 1 quiz, is that not a bit advanced for this level? As far as I recall the only context given in Level one for "une soirée" was for an evening function or party. I was marked wrong for using choisissez rather than choisis, presumably because choisissez is too advanced for this level?
The first words I learned in French were the first words in my very first French textbook:
J'entre dans la salle de classe. Je regarde autour de moi.
Thank you for accepting that as an alternative answer.
I have spoken to several French natives regarding this issue...their age~ 35yo
1. They use 'suivre' for "taking a French course...Je suis un cours de français and never 'prendre' for a full course. But!! I was told that if you are referring to a specific class you can say: "Je prend une classe de français aujourd'hui"
2. For "I passed my bac"... I was thought to use 'Reussir'..J'ai réussi mon bac...They said 'Avoir' is used more commonly now.
I suspect that the common usage will vary as vary with regions of the country,as it does everywhere
Does this mean that y and le are interchangeable when à is used as a preposition? Obviously meaning is slightly changed but would the different meaning make a huge problem?
e.g. je le veux vs je veux y venir
Lesson says only the 1st day of the month is cardinal, my test asked for the translation of May 1, I said le 1er mai, as per lesson...you said it was wrong and should have been le 1 mai...contradictory lessons!
