Question about the Routine de Matin exerciseIn the Routine de Matin (Futur Proche & réflexive verbs) exercise, I used the present indicative tense in the following sentence (even though all the other answers were in the futur proche) because it made more sense to me: “Pendant qu’il SE PRÉPARE avec toi, je vais .....”.

It was marked incorrect, but doesn’t it fit the sentence better? It said that it should have been “Pendant qu’il va se préparer avec toi....”.

Thanks!

Le ou la

Salut! In the second last sentence, tarte is feminine, so why is it “LE goûter” and not LA goûter? I’m assuming the meaning of the sentence is “she invites some friends to taste it” or does it mean “the tasting”?

"un" before super héros - my dad is a superhero. Why does it require "un" in French. Is a teacher, doctor, etc wouldn't, correct?

Using Qui

Are you saying qui can’t be used unless it’s in the inverted form? Here’s the lesson question and I used qui vs qui est-ce que: Qui vous avez envie de revoir ? I know you can’t use the longer version with inverted questions. Thanks for your help.

seulement vs ne... que

Why is "Nous avons seulement deux chambres" incorrect?

I understand why "Nous n'avons que deux chambres" is correct, but if I understood the lesson correctly then the option with seulement should simply be informal, but correct just the same.

Follow - up to my previous question

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

Sorry for posting another question.

I believe that it’s good to be frank to my teacher and hence I would inform you that I was unable to understand the answer provided by Monsieur Chris(though it was accurate) to the question on the following link->

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/grammar-queries-based-on-concepts

I request you to please provide me with a comprehensive answer to the same which would enhance my learning.

Merci Beaucoup Madame !

Use of indirect objectHi, I hope you can help with a grammar question. I'm doing a writing exercise: C1 Camping in the Woods. The phrase: "The invigorating wind lashed her face Translated" as "Le vent vivigant lui foullait le visage" I infer that "lui" is added to clarify that the wind is not "whipping its own face". The exception doesn't seem to be covered in the Kwizbot grammar notes (at least as far as I can see). Kind regards, Glen

misleading explanation linkHi,
In my quiz I have a question:

Which of the following are correct?
    la sœur
    l'oncle
    le écharpe
    l'souris

And this lesson is mentioned as "explain this". Whilst the lesson really explains usage of le / la, in this case it does not make any sense because I previous lessons did not have either of those four words, so a student just doesn't know what those words mean.
